Extensive Queue of Trucks Stretches over 25 Kilometers Prior to Reaching Austrian Border - Lengthy queue of trucks near Austrian border, stretching for 25 kilometres
In the early hours of today, a series of events unfolded on the Inntal Autobahn, a crucial part of the highway network, particularly towards the Brenner pass and in the Innsbruck area.
According to police reports, several truck drivers disregarded the no-overtaking rule, leading to a chaotic situation on the road. This negligence unfortunately culminated in a rear-end collision between two cars at the Oberaudorf interchange, a location not previously mentioned in earlier reports.
By 8:00 AM, the backup had reached its peak, forming a queue that extended from Kiefersfelden to the Inntal triangle. This backup was caused, in part, by two breakdown vehicles that minorly disrupted the traffic flow.
The city of Rosenheim, where the Oberaudorf interchange is located, was not previously mentioned in earlier reports. The Austrian authorities, in an attempt to manage the situation, initiated block clearance at 5:00 AM. This measure, designed to protect the Austrian highway network, allowed a maximum of 300 trucks per hour to pass.
Despite the chaos, no injuries were reported from the collision. However, the backup extended to the A93 autobahn interchange, and a 25-kilometer long queue of trucks formed on the German side of the border near Kufstein.
It's worth noting that the Tyrol state government will be responsible for regulating truck traffic in 2025. This includes a 36-day period during which the truck traffic flows will be regulated by block control (Blockabfertigung) measures imposed by the Tyrolean authorities. These measures are designed to prevent overload on the road network, especially on the Inntalautobahn and in the Innsbruck area.
As of the time of reporting, the backup was currently dissipating, and the block clearance ended at 9:30 AM. The Tyrol state government's increased focus on traffic management in the coming years is expected to help prevent such incidents in the future.
