The snowfall that has been going on since the night is causing traffic chaos on Salzburg’s streets this morning. You should therefore plan significantly more time on the way to work.
The snowfalls in the entire state are unlikely to end until this afternoon.
Snow slows down early traffic in Salzburg
In early morning traffic there were problems all over Salzburg due to the amount of snow. According to Radio Salzburg, the main problem is trucks that get stuck on slopes and have to be recovered. Numerous fire brigades are already in action to free vehicles from the slippery roads. In some of the well-known traffic jam hotspots, there is already no progress at all. Accidents or vehicles standing sideways blocking roads are a constant occurrence.
Traffic jams towards the city of Salzburg
It takes significantly longer on the Lamprechtshausener Straße (B156) into town. There are delays of up to half an hour from the anthering. It also jams on the Mattseer Landesstraße (L101) before Elixhausen in the direction of the city of Salzburg. The snow also partially paralyzes traffic in the urban area. It takes at least ten minutes longer on Eberhard-Fugger-Strasse, for example.
All vehicles on Katschberg (Lungau), Gerlos Straße (Pinzgau) and trucks on the Radstädter Tauern (Pongau), Filzensattel, Rauriser Höhe and in the Eschenau area (all Pinzgau) need snow chains.
