Already 20 minutes of lost time

TCS reports that you need to be patient before Gotthard. There is traffic congestion for up to two kilometers between Wassen UR and Göschenen UR. Waste of time is 20 minutes. It is still snowing on the south side of the tunnel, so trucks are no longer allowed between the Giornico heavy traffic center rest area and Gotthard.

Bad weather for Easter in the South? For those who love to travel, this does not seem to matter. Astra spokesman Thomas Rohrbach told SRF that according to the Federal Highway Office (Astra), there will be many traffic jams in front of Gotthard from Wednesday. However, it is not just the north gate that is difficult. Blick provides an overview of traffic congestion for the Easter weekend.

Traffic jam in front of Gotthard

In the mornings on Maundy Thursday you need to be very patient. The biggest travel wave is expected to be on Good Friday. TCS recommends traveling to Ticino either early in the morning, before 8 a.m., or late in the evening, after 10 p.m.

Artificial traffic jam in Graubinden

According to Astra, high traffic volumes also lead to “unwanted alternative traffic” along national highways. The affected areas therefore took precautions. Due to the alternative route on San Bernardino, the affected canton of Graubunden will create artificial traffic congestion.

They want drivers to stay on the highways. Metal avalanches in front of villages will be stopped by traffic students; navigation systems will recognize this and allow passengers to stay on the highway route. At least that’s the goal.

Waiting times in the mountains

There are also likely to be waiting times in the mountains. Due to the early date of Easter, winter sports enthusiasts will travel to ski areas. However, due to being closed in winter, the Alpine passes cannot be used as an alternative route during Easter.

Heavy traffic is also expected at the loading stations at Furka in Realp, Lötschberg in Kandersteg and Vereina in Klosters-Selfranga.
