On Monday, traffic at the north portal of the Gotthard Tunnel backed up again. The length of the line of cars was 9 kilometres between Erstfeld and Göschenen UR, resulting in a delay of up to an hour and a half. At the south portal, the line was 2 kilometres long, causing a delay of 20 minutes. Over the weekend, there were also traffic jams at the Gotthard, with the Uri cantonal police reporting a maximum line length of 18 kilometres on Saturday. Despite the high traffic volume over the weekend, no new records were set. The longest traffic jam of the year so far occurred at the Gotthard north portal over the Pentecost weekend, when the line of cars and trucks reached a length of 20 kilometres. Traffic jams around the weekends are expected to continue. The Touring Club Switzerland (TCS) predicts that, due to the summer holidays, there will be more traffic heading to Italy between Friday and Monday. The TCS also expects traffic jams on the A13 San Bernardino route.
