Landslide Risk on A2 near Pinkafeld: Partial Closure

The excavator had started to slide at the affected construction site. The Pinkafeld fire department secured it with a winch and set it back on its wheels. According to the emergency services, no one was injured. How things will proceed on the A2 will be discussed in the morning. However, the closure of the affected lane is expected to remain in place for a few more days, according to Asfinag.

The total closure on Wednesday afternoon caused several kilometers of traffic jams. Especially the drivers who were directly in the affected area between Pinkafeld and Pinggau had to wait longer until they could be diverted. A geologist was requested to assess the situation.
