Slovakia: Disruptions on the D3 – Horelica Tunnel Closure and Detours via Čadca
From June 29 to August 31 this year, drivers should expect major traffic disruptions in northern Slovakia. Due to expansion joint repairs in the D3 Horelica Tunnel (road I/11a, Čadca District), a partial closure is in effect on the route from Čadca towards Žilina.
➡️ Traffic coming from Poland and the Czech Republic is being diverted from the D3 Podzávoz junction onto the old I/11 road, passing through the center of Čadca and the Horelica district. The detour ends in the town of Oščadnica, where vehicles are reconnected to road I/11a.
➡️ Travel from Žilina towards the Czech Republic remains unaffected – traffic in this direction continues without restrictions.
The Slovak road authorities are urging drivers to exercise increased caution, remain patient, and follow temporary traffic signs. If necessary, police officers will manage traffic at critical sections.
