Overview

  • A tunnel construction at Golling on Austria’s A10 caused a 50-kilometer tailback extending into Bavaria by mid-morning Saturday.
  • Travelers on the A10 faced journey extensions of up to five hours as a result of the backlog.
  • Crashes on major routes—including a burning VW bus on the A8, a multi-truck collision on the A9 and a fatal head-on on the B16—have injured multiple drivers and claimed at least one life.
  • ADAC and Autobahn-Gesellschaft warned of significant stau risk for the Pfingst weekend, forecasting densely packed holiday departures and widespread bottlenecks.
  • Roads in Nordrhein-Westfalen remained comparatively calm, registering no unusually high stau levels despite regional holiday departures.
