Tunnel was opened
Snow caused the Arlberg Pass road to be closed
Heavy snowfall on Thursday evening led to a complete closure of the Arlberg Pass road (B179) between St. Anton am Arlberg (Landeck district) and the Tyrol/Vorarlberg state border in both directions.
A detour via the Arlberg tunnel was actually not possible due to the general renovation of the tunnel. However, according to highway operator Asfinag, the tunnel was briefly opened from 8 p.m. so that the stranded drivers could pass through.
In convoy through the tunnel
The police took over the pre-selection. Hundreds of drivers were then guided through the tunnel one by one with escort vehicles from Asfinag. This was to ensure safety. The measure was intended to help relieve congestion on the pass road until the road maintenance services had cleared the way again.
However, the opening is limited in time, it was emphasized. The generally renovated tunnel will be officially reopened to traffic on Friday afternoon.
