Overview

• Austrian crews have begun renewing the 1.8 km Luegbrücke with two narrow lanes operating through August and September, creating the corridor’s largest bottleneck.
• ÖBB’s announced two-year delay on Germany’s Nordzulauf postpones full integration of the Brenner Base Tunnel feeder line and heightens risk of economic damage in Bavaria.
• Tirol’s sectoral and night-time driving bans plus block dispatch rules remain in force, causing frequent kilometer-long queues on the Bavarian side.
• The A81 is closed this weekend between Sindelfingen-Ost and Böblingen-Hulb for construction, with signed detours in place and drivers urged to seek alternative routes.
• The ADAC warns that concurrent holiday traffic and over 1 200 autobahn construction sites make a stau-free drive to southern destinations nearly impossible this summer.
