If you were planning to drive from Germany through Austria to Tyrol or Italy via the Brenner Pass this weekend, you'll want to rethink your plans.
The Brenner motorway, which links Austria to northern Italy and serves as a primary route for drivers headed south from Germany, is set to be completely closed for most of the day on Saturday, May 30th.
The closure is being caused by a protest against excessive traffic in the area.
The ADAC reported a high risk of traffic jams and travel disruptions starting Friday and lasting through the weekend. The Local Austria also reported that travellers are being urged to avoid driving toward the Brenner at all during the weekend if possible.
When and where is the motorway closed?
