Overview

• The ADAC predicts significant traffic disruptions across Germany during the Easter holiday period, with Gründonnerstag (April 17) expected to be the busiest day.
• Routes to popular destinations like the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and the Alps are at high risk of severe congestion, especially on major highways.
• Construction on key highways, including the A4 and A72 in Saxony and repairs on the Czech D8, will exacerbate delays on already crowded routes.
• Heavy return traffic is anticipated on Easter Monday, particularly on routes leading back from vacation spots as regional holidays conclude.
• Travelers are advised to depart early in the morning or late at night to avoid peak congestion times and minimize delays.
