Overview

• Forecasts warn of extreme jams on the A10, A12 and A13 during the July 19–20 weekend as holiday traffic peaks
• Ongoing reconstruction of the Luegbrücke on the A13 restricts traffic to single lanes until at least 2030, creating a key bottleneck
• Germany’s internal border controls extension to September 15 and Austria’s flexible Schengen checks at the Brenner crossing are adding to journey times
• Tyrol’s new lorry bans for vehicles over 7.5 tonnes impose 36 southbound and 21 northbound prohibition days, tightening freight movement
• The ÖAMTC recommends early-morning or late-evening departures, meticulous route planning and shifting trips to Monday to avoid overloaded alternatives like the Gotthard and San Bernardino passes
