The second wave of people returning from the south to start school led to another long traffic jam on the Gotthard on Sunday. Shortly before midday, vehicles were jammed for ten kilometers between Faido and Airolo TI in front of the south portal of the road tunnel.
The loss of time amounted to one hour and 40 minutes, as reported by the Touring Club of Switzerland (TCS) on the short message service X.
School starts on Monday in several cantons and regions, including Zurich, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Lucerne, Nidwalden, Obwalden, Zug, Valais and Vaud.
Last weekend, vehicles were already backed up for 14 kilometers in front of the Gotthard south portal on Sunday. Monday was the start of school in many Swiss cantons.
