Heavy Holiday Traffic Jams Southbound Routes

Travelers faced major delays on Saturday, July 25, 2026, as heavy holiday traffic caused long jams on key routes heading south.

Heavy holiday travel traffic led to significant congestion on southbound routes on Saturday, July 25, 2026. The Karawanken Motorway (A11) became a major focal point, with a seven-kilometer traffic column at the Karawanken Tunnel causing wait times of over one hour for those exiting toward Slovenia by 10:00 AM. In Tyrol, the Fernpass route (B179) was the most congested road, where travel times were delayed by up to 20 minutes at both the Füssen border tunnel and Reutte. Meanwhile, in Styria, a six-kilometer traffic jam formed at the Herzogberg Tunnel. Traffic in this area was processed in blocks due to a nearby construction site. These traffic columns across Tyrol and Styria marked a day of heavy delays for motorists traveling south during the holiday period.
