Heavy Traffic Expected on Austrian Motorways

ASFINAG warns of heavy weekend traffic across Austria as summer holidays and the Hungarian Grand Prix increase congestion on major routes.

ASFINAG warns of significant traffic delays on Austrian motorways starting Friday evening due to ongoing summer holidays across Europe. High traffic volumes are expected on the A9, A10, A12, and A13, as well as the route from Passau through Linz and Vienna to Nickelsdorf. Specific bottlenecks include the A4 construction site at Simmeringer Haide, though Vienna Airport remains accessible. Motorists should expect wait times at the A2 Pack tunnel site, the A10 St. Michael toll station, the A11 Karawankentunnel, and the A13 Luegbrücke. The Formula 1 Grand Prix in Hungary will also increase congestion on the A4 and M1. Additionally, construction in Slovenia may cause jams at the Spielfeld border, while the A21 features narrowed lanes during renovations.
