Traffic restrictions in the winter season!
From 19.12.2024 until 30 March, exit closures on the Tauern motorway (A10) will be activated. Due to the increased traffic volume during the Christmas holidays, winter travel traffic frequently diverts to the municipalities along the motorway. To keep travel traffic away from these areas, the exits Hallein, Kuchl and Golling will be closed. Only residents and travellers with a specific destination within a radius of 20 km around Hallein, 15 km around Kuchl and 35 km around Golling are permitted to use these exits.
In addition, there is ski tourism as well as construction sites in the Hiefler and Ofenauer tunnels near Golling (Tennengau) and the tunnel chain at Werfen (Pongau). Significant traffic jams and delays are therefore to be expected, particularly on Saturdays. In addition to the A10, high traffic volumes and possible delays are also expected on the Pinzgauer Straße (B311) in the Salzach valley as well as at the small German Corner between Bad Reichenhall and Lofer (Pinzgau).
Additional closures also apply in Tyrol. From 7 am to 7 pm, a driving ban for diversion traffic applies from 21 December to 27 April in the districts of Kufstein, Reutte and Imst. On Saturdays, this ban also applies to the district of Schwaz.
In Vorarlberg, entry and exit closures apply to all vehicles during the Christmas holidays. This affects the Arlberg Schnellstraße (S16) from 21 to 28 December, each day from 8 am to 6 pm. The affected junctions are Bings, Braz-West, Braz-Ost and Langen am Arlberg. If you plan to travel on any of these routes, especially the A10, you should allow for extra time.
