The reason was several vehicles that got stuck in the uphill areas, some of which blocked both lanes, Asfinag said in a broadcast. The blocking of the A 21 applied to both directions over the entire course, an ÖAMTC spokesman also reported. There were delays and traffic jams. “The duration of the ban is currently not foreseeable,” said Asfinag.
Those sections where vehicle lanes blocked could not be cleared of snow. “Asfinag, the police forces and the towing companies are working flat out to recover the stuck trucks or to position them on the edge of the road so that the clearing vehicles can continue,” it was announced. A large-scale bypass via the Krems expressway (S 33), the Stockerauer expressway (S 5) and the Donauufer Autobahn (A 22) has been set up.
