Easter tourist traffic on the Tauernautobahn (A10) in Salzburg once again led to a kilometer-long traffic jam, both on Good Friday and Maundy Thursday.
On Good Friday, the line to the south already stretched over ten kilometers and could continue to grow over the course of the afternoon. The waiting times were initially up to two hours. On Maundy Thursday, the traffic jam finally reached a length of 18 kilometers, which, according to the ÖAMTC, was “by far the longest traffic jam in all of Austria”, with waiting times of up to three hours. The renovation of the tunnel chain at Pass Lueg has led to the complete closure of one lane of the A10 between Golling (Tennengau) andwerfen (Pongau) since September, which leads to traffic jams, especially on busy travel days. Despite exit closures, the state roads in the Salzach Valley were again affected by extensive evasive traffic on Friday.
