Bavaria: Heavy traffic at the start of the Ascension weekend

Munich (dpa / lby) - Many people apparently made their way on a short vacation on Wednesday afternoon. "As expected, there is very heavy travel," said a spokesman for the ADAC traffic club in Munich. "There's a lot going on, especially on the A3 Würzburg towards Nuremberg, where we also have a lot of construction sites."

But also on many other trunk roads in the Free State, the journey was clouded by one of the around 50 traffic jams in the afternoon. The longest was due to the block handling of trucks through Austria in Upper Bavaria: There it was backed up for around 50 kilometers over the A93 and the A8 from the border near Kufstein to Weyarn in the Munich area.
