Holiday Return Traffic Eases Sunday Morning After A7 and Alpine Bottlenecks

Staggered school breaks with numerous work zones are funneling cars into bottlenecks.

Overview

  • ADAC flagged August 30–31 as among the summer’s busiest weekends and advises avoiding Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon peaks or choosing alternative routes.
  • On Saturday, the A7 saw multi‑kilometre queues with delays of up to about one hour on stretches near Neumünster, Dorfmark and Bad Brückenau, according to ADAC.
  • Bayerninfo reported at least 30 minutes southbound before the A7 Grenztunnel Füssen, with intermittent block processing near the Reinertshoftunnel.
  • ASFINAG logged roughly 45 minutes southbound over the Brenner and hour‑long waits on the Tauernautobahn, with slow traffic on the Fernpass.
  • By early Sunday, reports indicated freer flow on the A7, Brenner and Fernpass, though congestion risk remains later in the day.
