There’s an extensive network of filling stations and almost one in two sells LPG. In general, in the major towns and cities parking is only permitted in the spaces provided. Short-stay car parks, the majority of which are Pay & Display, are marked with a blue border. These are complemented by specially designated car parks and underground parking in most places.

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.

The renovation of the Lueg Bridge on the Brenner Motorway A13 will begin on January 1, 2025.
To carry out the renovation as efficiently as possible, the bridge will only be open to one lane in both directions. However, on particularly busy
days, the bridge may be temporarily opened to two lanes to facilitate traffic flow.

On busy days, the bridge will be open to two lanes in both directions. Cars may use both lanes. However, vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons are subject to special rules: they must drive in the left lane, which is the inside lane of the bridge, to reduce the load on the structure. A monitoring system has been installed to ensure compliance with this rule.

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 avoided either by traveling via the Reschen Pass or by using the railway network. The railway line over the Brenner Pass will not be restricted during the renovation. Information on train connections can be found here:

• ÖBB: Homepage
• DB: Timetables, information, tickets
• Trenitalia
• südtirolmobil | Homepage (suedtirolmobil.info)

Additionally, night trains run from Innsbruck to Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Utrecht.

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.

From September 2024 to the end of 2026, the Reschen Road B180 will be undergoing construction to build a rockfall gallery between Kajetansbrücke/Pfunds and Nauders. During this period, the road will be closed at certain times. Please note: The road will be completely closed from October 8 to December 19, 2024.

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

Winter Season: No worries!
Good news for winter sports enthusiasts: From December 20, 2024, to March 9, 2025, the road will be open for two-way traffic.

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.
