Emergency Closure of the Branisko Tunnel in Slovakia
The Polícia SR – Prešovský kraj has announced an emergency closure of the Branisko Tunnel on the D1 motorway in the Prešov region.
The restrictions apply to the section between the towns of Beharovce and Fričovce, in the Branisko mountain area. This is one of the key passages on the international D1 / E50 route, leading eastwards across Slovakia and further towards Poland. The tunnel is approximately 4.975 km long and is among the longest in the country.
The closure will be in effect:
➡ from Thursday, 27 November 2025, at 23:00
➡ until Friday, 28 November 2025, at 03:00
During this time, traffic will be diverted onto road I/18. The restrictions are due to the need to clean the tunnel interior, as the monitoring cameras, roadway, and guide lines are contaminated. The police urge drivers to exercise caution on detours, especially at night and during periods of heavy truck traffic.
