Easter Travel Traffic and Concert at Wiener Stadthalle Cause Traffic Jams

On Good Friday, April 18, and Holy Saturday, April 19, many Austrians and Germans begin their journey to their Easter vacation.

Easter Travel Traffic: Where There Will Be Traffic Jams on Friday

Especially from the early afternoon hours on Friday and from early morning to afternoon, ARBÖ traffic expert Thomas Haider expects heavy traffic on city exits, highways near major cities, and transit routes. The most traffic-prone routes are: The West Autobahn (A1) in the Linz and Salzburg city area, the South Autobahn (A2) between Vienna and Knoten Guntramsdorf as well as around Graz, the East Autobahn (A4) between Knoten Prater and Knoten Schwechat, the Mühlkreis Autobahn (A7) in the Linz city area, the Pyhrn Autobahn (A9) between Inzersdorf and Klaus as well as before the Bosruck and Gleinalm tunnels and in the Graz area, the Tauern Autobahn (A10) towards Villach, before the construction area between Golling and Werfen, the Brenner Autobahn (A13) before the toll station Schönberg and the construction site before the Lueg bridge, the Rheintal Autobahn (A14) before the construction site between the Hörbranz border and the Pfänder tunnel as well as in the Bludenz area, and the Southeast Tangent (A23) in the entire Vienna city area.

Drivers should be patient on Friday on exit roads such as Altmannsdorfer Straße and Triester Straße in Vienna, the Ebelsberg bypass and B139 in Linz, as well as Conrad-von-Hötzendorf-Straße and Plüddemanngasse in Graz. On Saturday, in addition to the transit routes, block clearances are expected on the Fernpass route (B179) along the entire route before the Lermoos tunnel and the border tunnel Vils/Füssen, as well as on the Zillertalstraße (B169) along the entire route with block clearances before the Brettfall tunnel. Significantly longer delays are also likely on the Arlberg expressway (S16), the Silvretta Straße (L188), and the Bregenzerwaldstraße (L200).

Traffic Jams Also Due to Return Wave at the End of the Easter Holidays

On Easter Monday, April 21, the return wave begins as the Easter holidays end throughout Austria and in five German states. From the afternoon, ARBÖ expects traffic jams on the same routes as on Friday, but in the opposite direction. Additionally, there will be longer waiting times at the borders during entry: Heiligenkreuz/Rabafüzes on the Gleisdorfer Straße (B65), Klingenbach/Sopron on the Budapester Straße (B10), Nickelsdorf/Hegyeshalom on the Hungarian M1 or East Autobahn (A4), Spielfeld/Šentilj on the Slovenian A1 or Pyhrn Autobahn (A9), Karawanken tunnel on the Slovenian A2 or Karawanken Autobahn (A11), Wolfsthal/Bratislava on the Pressburger Straße (B9). "We recommend starting return journeys early in the morning or late in the evening, as traffic density depends on the weather. The worse the weather, the earlier the return wave begins. Additionally, the disease carpets at the borders to Slovakia and Hungary will extend waiting times during entry," recommends ARBÖ traffic expert Thomas Haider.

Tarkan Concert in Vienna's Stadthalle Causes Traffic Jams in Vienna

On April 19, the Turkish pop star Tarkan will perform in Vienna's Stadthalle, Hall D, and delight his fans. The concert begins at 8:00 PM. With well-known hits like "Þýmarýk" and his charismatic stage presence, Tarkan will offer an unforgettable experience. The ARBÖ information service expects traffic jams, especially on Neubaugürtel, Hütteldorfer Straße, and in the Nibelungenviertel. Parking is available in garages near the Stadthalle, such as the Stadthallengarage or the Märzparkgarage. For public transport, visitors can use the U6 (Burggasse-Stadthalle station), tram lines 6, 9, 18, or 49 (Urban-Loritz-Platz station), or bus line 48A (Moeringgasse station).
