Germany updates travel advisory as Brenner motorway faces full blockade on 30 May
On 23 May Germany’s Foreign Office warned travellers that Austria’s A13 Brenner motorway and the parallel B182 will be completely closed on 30 May because of a protest in Tyrol. The eight-hour blockade affects all vehicles (trucks from 09:00, cars from 11:00) and leaves no local detours, forcing rerouting via Switzerland or eastern Austria. The disruption threatens holiday traffic, cross-border supply chains and business travel between Germany, Austria and Italy.
Pentecost getaway starts with heavy jams at Austrian borders despite new ‘exit bans’
ORF Salzburg reports that the 23 May Pentecost holiday exodus triggered long waits at the Walserberg, Kufstein and Brenner borders. Salzburg and Tyrol activated motorway ‘exit bans’ to keep transit traffic out of local roads, easing village congestion but forcing through-traffic to stay on tolled routes. The jams highlight continued pressure on Austria’s north-south corridors and the need for businesses to plan detours, driver rest times and service stops in advance.
