Notice: Weekend Closure of the Považský Chlmec Tunnel on the D3 in Slovakia
Drivers traveling through northern Slovakia this coming weekend should prepare for disruptions. From Friday, July 18 at 8:00 p.m. until the evening of Sunday, July 20, the Považský Chlmec tunnel on the D3 motorway near Žilina will be completely closed.
The closure affects the section between the Žilina Strážov and Žilina Brodno interchanges. The reason is a scheduled technical inspection and maintenance of the tunnel infrastructure – including ventilation, control, and monitoring systems. These works are necessary to ensure traffic safety on this strategic stretch.
During the closure, traffic will be rerouted as follows:
➡️ From the Strážov direction – via national road no. 61 through the center of Žilina,
➡️ From the Brodno direction – via national road no. 11, also through the city.
Traffic jams are expected, especially during peak hours. The disruption will particularly affect transport on the north–south axis, including international freight traffic from Poland heading toward the Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary.
