Pentecost on the Tauern highway: 45 kilometers of chaos expected!
Golling im Salzburger Land, Österreich - On June 7, 2025, there was a considerable traffic chaos on the Tauern motorway (A10) in Austria, at the beginning of the Pentecost weekend. A 45 -kilometer traffic jam formed towards the south in the state of Salzburg and reached over the German border to Bavaria. The travel time for holidaymakers extended by around five hours, which provided many travelers with challenging situations. The cause of the massive traffic jam was a tunnel construction site at Golling in the Salzburg region, which proved to be problematic and led to extensive traffic redirection, such as ZVW reported.
In addition to the traffic problems in Salzburg, there was also a delay in the Tyrol region. The area around Innsbruck, the Brenner motorway towards Italy and Fernpass-Straße were particularly affected here. The situation further tightened by the renovation work, which is currently being carried out on the Tauern motorway.
tunnel renovation and additional construction sites
Tunnel renovation on the A10 Tauern motorway will continue until the end of June 2025. As part of these measures, renovation work is carried out in the 14 -kilometer section between Golling and Throwing. Five tunnels, including the furnace and Hiefler tunnel and the tunnel chain (Brentenberg, Zetzenberg, Helbersberg), are being renovated at the same time. During the work, the tunnel tubes are alternately blocked in both directions, which leads to single -track traffic in oncoming traffic. The car travelers have to expect additional waiting times of about 30 minutes, especially on weekends, as ADAC indicates.
For travelers with national through traffic, departure blocks apply by June 26, 2025. These affect several junctions in both directions. Travelers with a local goal are not affected by the downhill barriers, but have to provide evidence. There are also night locks between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. on several nights in June. The general renovation costs around 270 million euros and also includes the modernization of security technology with 400 new cameras and sensors.
additional construction sites in 2025
The Tauern motorway is not the only motorway in Austria that is affected by extensive renovation work. In 2025 there are extensive renovations on several highways and expressways. Among the measures is the renovation of the Brenner Autobahn (A13) with a construction volume of 390 million euros, which will be used from January 2025 to the end of 2030. On the West Autobahn (A1), work on the general renovation in St. Pölten Süd - Völlndorf is started, and the Ostutobahn (A4) is also extensively renewed.
road users must adapt to temporary lane reductions, speed restrictions and temporarily diversions. The planned measures should not only increase traffic safety, but also improve noise protection and modernize the technical infrastructure. These steps are necessary because many buildings have arrived at the end of their originally planned useful life and the traffic loads have increased, such as DetailsOrt Golling im Salzburger Land, Österreich Quellen
