The Gotthardstrassentunnel is experiencing heavy traffic due to the return of holidaymakers from the south of Switzerland. On Saturday morning, the traffic jam at the south portal in Airolo TI exceeded 10 kilometres in length, causing a delay of one hour and 40 minutes for drivers travelling from the Ticino to the German-speaking part of Switzerland. The traffic jam at the north portal in Göschenen UR was shorter, at six kilometres. As a result of the derailment on Thursday, no trains are able to pass through the Basistunnel, meaning that passengers travelling by train on the Gotthard axis must also expect longer journey times.nnnnnnnn
