Salzburg Marathon and Fendrich Concert in Vienna Cause Traffic Jams Over the Weekend

The Salzburg Marathon on Sunday, May 18, and the Tuning Fair at the exhibition grounds will bring road closures and delays. On Friday, May 16, there will be increased traffic in the evening due to the Rainhard Fendrich concert at the Wiener Stadthalle.

Salzburg Marathon: Road Closures in the City of Mozart

This coming Sunday, May 18, the Salzburg Marathon will take place for the 22nd time. Thousands of athletes will participate in various running events. On Friday and Saturday, numerous program points, including a fair with news about running, will take place in the Volksgarten in the Sport Mall in addition to the distribution of start numbers and registration. On these days, the traffic impact is expected to be minimal. The situation is quite different on Sunday. "Around 60 road connections are affected by temporary and partial closures. These include Hellbrunner Straße, Augustiner Straße, Nikolaus-Lenau-Straße, Griesgasse, or Bürgerspitalgasse. The first closure will be imposed at midnight in Hofstallgasse. This is also the last closure, which will be lifted at 8 PM. During the entire event, the connections Karolinenbrücke - Alpenstraße, Rochusgasse, Berchtesgadenerstraße outbound, and Lehner Brücke will remain passable," say the ARBÖ traffic experts. Information about current closures, traffic jams, and alternative routes around the marathon is gladly provided by the ARBÖ traffic experts at the Austria-wide phone number 050 123 123. "If possible, avoid the Salzburg city center by car on Sunday and use public transport," advises the ARBÖ in conclusion.

Tuning Fair Customized Attracts Car and Motorcycle Tuners to the Salzburg Exhibition Center

From May 16 to 18, the Salzburg Exhibition Center will once again become a mecca for car and motorcycle tuners. From exhaust systems, car models, tires, rims to scene clothing, interested visitors will find everything a tuner’s heart desires here. As the visitor turnout will be large, longer delays on the access roads Münchner Bundesstraße (B155), Bessarabierstraße, and especially on the Westautobahn (A1) before the "Messe" exit in both directions cannot be completely ruled out. Experience shows that the parking spaces at the exhibition grounds will also fill up very quickly, so the ARBÖ also advises arriving by public transport as much as possible. The O-bus lines 1, 7, and 8 stop directly or in the immediate vicinity of the exhibition center.

Additional Concert by Rainhard Fendrich Leads to Delays in Vienna

On Friday, May 16, Rainhard Fendrich will perform once again due to high demand with his "nur ein Wimpernschlag" tour in Hall D of the Wiener Stadthalle. The show starts at 8 PM. This means that there will be some delays in the evening traffic around the Stadthalle. Affected will be, as always, Felberstraße, Gablenzgasse, and Hütteldorfer Straße. Parking spaces in the area are limited, so the ARBÖ information service recommends arriving by public transport. The U6 subway line or tram lines 6 and 18 stop in close proximity to the Wiener Stadthalle.
