Questions & Answers

Renovation of the Lueg Bridge on the Brenner Motorway A13

As part of an extensive renovation of the Lueg Bridge on the Brenner Motorway A13, traffic restrictions will come into effect starting January 1, 2025.

On days with heavy traffic, both lanes of the bridge can be used in two-lane operation. Cars may use both lanes. However, special rules apply to vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tonnes: they must use the left lane, i.e., the inner side of the bridge, to reduce the load on the structure. A monitoring system has been installed to ensure compliance with this regulation.

The days on which the two-lane operation is active can be found in the calendar below.
Plan your journey on the Brenner motorway using the updated Lueg Bridge traffic calendar – it includes all important dates and relevant traffic information.

The monitoring system is based on a scale integrated into the road, which detects during driving if vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons are incorrectly in the right lane. If this is the case, the vehicle will be diverted before the bridge for reweighing. It will then be directed to the correct lane (left lane). These checks take place in Nößlach and Brenner and are carried out by staff.

Yes, the Lueg Bridge can be bypassed by traveling via the Reschenpass/Resia Pass or the Felbertauernstraße.
From Mittersill and Lienz, you can reach South Tyrol via the B100 road. This route is open all year round.

Important notice
Even in case of traffic congestion, it is strongly advised not to use the B182 (old Brenner road).
Choosing this route can worsen local traffic conditions and may lead to penalties due to transit restrictions.

The first bridge pillar is expected to be fully renovated within two and a half to three years. From this point on, two lanes will be available again. The entire bridge is expected to be completed by the year 2030.

In the coming weeks, a schedule with all measures and restrictions will be published on the official ASFINAG website.

Construction site at the Resia Pass

Current situation

The Resia Pass is open. Traffic is controlled by traffic lights until December 2026.

On the Resia Pass road (B180), there are repeated short stops and temporary closures. These are due to construction work on a new rockfall gallery in the Austrian section between Pfunds and Nauders, an area particularly prone to rockfall and landslides.

-From September to November 2026, a final full closure will take place for completion work and asphalt paving.

Alternative Route:
During closures, traffic will be rerouted via Switzerland. The detour runs along the Engadin Road (B184) and Martinsbruck Road (B185). This route adds approximately 6.6 km to the journey and may take about 10 minutes longer, depending on traffic.
A de-tailed route planner (Kajetansbrücke/Pfunds) for the detour can be found here: Google Maps Route Planner

Important traffic information:
Cars: Rerouted via the Engadin Road (B184) and Martinsbruck Road (B185).
Trucks, vehicles with trailers over 6.5 m, and buses over 13 m: These vehicles cannot use the detour and must take a longer alternative route.

Heavy vehicle tolls:
Vehicles over 3.5 tons are required to pay a heavy vehicle tax at the Swiss customs office in Martina. The fee is €5 per trip per vehicle and is collected on-site.
