Brenner Pass closure

Timetables and useful advice for those who need to travel

For Saturday, 30th of May, a demonstration is planned in Gries am Brenner (Austria) which will result in a temporary closure of traffic along the Brenner corridor, in both northbound and southbound directions.

From 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM the following will be closed:

-the A13 Brenner motorway, in the section between the Brenner state border and the main toll station of Schönberg;
-the B182 Brenner federal road on the Austrian side.

This weekend coincides with a period of particularly heavy traffic along the Brenner axis, between the return from the Pentecost holidays and departures for the June 2 holiday weekend. For this reason, queues and delays may occur not only during the planned closure, but also in the hours and days before and after the 30th of May.
