Austria: temporary closure of the Katschberg Tunnel on the A10 Tauern Motorway. No detour for trucks.
On Saturday, 11 October 2025, the Katschberg Tunnel on the A10 Tauern Motorway will be temporarily closed from 18:00 to 00:00 due to rescue drills involving ASFINAG, local authorities, emergency services, the fire brigade, and the police.
Passenger vehicles will be diverted between the Rennweg and St. Michael im Lungau junctions onto the B99 Katschberg federal road. Trucks will not be able to use the detour and must wait until the tunnel reopens before continuing their journey.
The exercise scenario includes a coach accident with injured passengers and subsequent collisions inside the tunnel. The main focus is on rescuing people, ensuring efficient communication procedures, and familiarity with the site. Such drills are mandatory and are regularly conducted in all tunnels managed by ASFINAG.
