Traffic was again blocked on Saturday morning for a length of ten kilometers in front of the northern portal of the Gotthard tunnel. The reasons for this large volume of traffic on the north-south axis are not clear.
From early in the morning, vehicles began to accumulate between Erstfeld (UR) and Göschenen (UR). During the morning, the plugs lengthened until they reached a length of ten kilometers at 10:30 a.m., according to indications from the TCS. The wait was estimated at one hour and 40 minutes.
Experts say they are surprised by such a large traffic jam in the Gotthard on a normal weekend. No particular incident, such as an accident or a deviation, was noted on the route, indicates the Viasuisse road information service to Keystone-ATS.
A possible explanation could be the school holidays in some German Länder, which started on Tuesday. However, such a development was not expected. Traffic was also overloaded to the south, between Quinto and the Gotthard tunnel. The traffic jams reach two kilometers there, for a waiting time of up to 20 minutes.
