On Friday morning, travelers had to be patient in front of the Gotthard north portal: traffic was backed up for ten kilometers. Drivers had to reckon with a delay of up to one hour and 30 minutes.
The reason for the traffic jam between Erstfeld and Göschenen in the canton of Uri was traffic congestion, according to the Touring Club Switzerland (TCS) on X. Traffic was also backed up in front of the south portal between Quinto and Airolo TI due to congestion. According to the traffic service, the tunnel was briefly closed in both directions at around 11.00 a.m. due to a broken-down vehicle.
À l'approche de Pâques, l'Office fédéral des routes (Astra) avait conseillé de ne pas quitter l'autoroute pendant les embouteillages. Le trafic détourné met à rude épreuve la population des villages situés le long des routes nationales. Il augmente également le risque d'accidents.
According to SRF Meteo, heavy rain will begin in Ticino on Good Friday and continue until Easter Monday, with a few brief interruptions.
