- A long traffic jam had already formed in front of the Gotthard road tunnel early on Saturday morning.
- At around 4:30 a.m., the motorcade stretched over ten kilometers between Erstfeld and Göschenen.
- Viasuisse reported that the waiting time was over 2 hours because the Gotthard tunnel was closed in both directions due to a breakdown vehicle.
The loss of time during the morning was up to 1 hour and 50 minutes, as the Touring Club Switzerland (TCS) announced on Twitter. Due to a breakdown vehicle blocking the tunnel, the entire Gotthart was later closed in both directions.
After that, the waiting time was more than 2.5 hours, according to the traffic information service Viasuisse. The entrance to Göschenen was closed on Saturday morning.
