strong>TRIESTE – Following the renovation works on the Lueg Bridge along the A13 motorway in Tyrol (Austria), temporary restrictions have also been introduced on the Italian side for heavy goods vehicles, to prevent critical issues and congestion on the Brenner corridor.
The Italian Federation of Professional Road Hauliers (FIAP) notes that the Government Commissioner for the Province of Bolzano has ordered a traffic ban on the Brenner A22 (northbound, on the stretch from Vipiteno to the state border) for all vehicles used for the carriage of goods with a gross vehicle weight over 7.5 tonnes, in the following periods:
every Saturday, from 7:00 to 15:00, from 10 January to 14 March 2026
Friday 10 April 2026, from 7:00 to 22:00.
The measure forms part of the restrictions adopted by the Austrian authorities on the A13, needed to allow the reconstruction works on the Lueg Bridge, and aims to ensure road safety, traffic flow and the protection of public order on the Italian stretch of the Brenner motorway.
However, some exemptions apply, meaning the ban does not cover, among others:
vehicles carrying perishable goods and foodstuffs;
transport of fuels, mail, roadside assistance, medical rescue services and public security;
trips bound for combined road–rail transport;
transport of goods to or from airports.
For HGVs that, when the ban enters into force, are already travelling within the Province of Bolzano, dedicated parking areas are предусмотр, in particular the SA.DO.BRE car park in Vipiteno or other equipped areas identified by the competent authorities.
