Autumn Holidays in Germany and Erste Bank Open in Vienna Cause Traffic Jams on the Weekend

This weekend, heavy traffic is expected in Austria. In addition to the start of the autumn holidays in five German states and parts of the Netherlands, the Erste Bank Open at the Wiener Stadthalle is also causing traffic jams.

Starting October 20, holidays begin in the German states of Brandenburg, Berlin, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Schleswig-Holstein, as well as in parts of the Netherlands. Numerous vacationers will travel to Austria and southern regions.

Vacation Travel Traffic for Autumn Holidays Causes Traffic Jams and Delays on the Weekend

Typically, this means that many will start their vacation journey on Friday afternoon and Saturday. Therefore, traffic jams and longer delays are very likely on the following routes:

  • Westautobahn (A1) im Großraum Salzburg
  • Pyhrnautobahn (A9) vor der Tunnelkette Klaus sowie im Bereich des Bosruck- und Gleinalmtunnels
  • Tauernautobahn (A10) zwischen dem Knoten Salzburg und Hallein sowie vor den Tunnelportalen zwischen Golling und Pass Lueg, vor dem Tauern- und Katschbergtunnel und im Großraum Villach
  • Inntalautobahn (A12) vor der Einreise an der Grenze Kufstein/Kiefersfelden sowie im Großraum Innsbruck
  • Brennerautobahn (A13) zwischen Innsbruck und der Mautstelle Schönberg sowie im Bereich der Baustelle bei der Luegbrücke
  • Fernpass Straße (B179) auf dem gesamten Verlauf mit möglicher Blockabfertigung vor dem Grenztunnel Vils/Füssen und dem Lermoosertunnel

Traffic Jams Due to Erste Bank Open in Vienna

This coming weekend, the annual Erste Bank Open begins at the Wiener Stadthalle. From Saturday, October 18, to Sunday, October 26, tennis stars like Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Sebastian Ofner will compete for the tournament victory in Vienna. Even during the qualification on Saturday and Sunday, longer delays around the Stadthalle cannot be ruled out. Particularly affected are likely to be Gablenzgasse, Hütteldorfer Straße, and Neubaugürtel. ARBÖ advises drivers to switch to the Märzparkgarage and Stadthallengarage with event flat rates. A sensible alternative is also public transport such as the U6 or tram lines 6, 9, 18, and 49.
