Slovenian highways are experiencing significant traffic disruptions and delays this afternoon, primarily caused by several accidents. On the Vodice-Moste road, a traffic lane is closed at the intersection with the highway access due to a collision.
Further north, the Štajerska highway is affected by congestion near the Zadobrova interchange, stemming from an accident. The Primorska highway also faces disruptions, with the passing lane closed between Razdrto and the Studenec rest stop for traffic heading towards Ljubljana. These incidents are compounding the usual afternoon rush hour traffic.
Beyond the accident sites, increased and slowed traffic is widespread. Congestion is reported on roads leading out of city centers, on urban bypasses, and near road construction zones. Specifically on the Štajerska highway, delays are occurring between the Zima rest stop and the Pletovarje tunnel towards Maribor, as well as between Slovenske Konjice and the Golo Rebro tunnel heading towards Ljubljana.
The Primorska highway is experiencing backups between Unc and the Studenec rest stop towards Koper, and between Razdrto and the Ravbarkomanda rest stop towards Ljubljana. Additional slowdowns are noted on sections between Unc and Brezovica towards Ljubljana. Congestion also affects Ljubljana's western and southern ring roads, particularly towards the Kozarje interchange and beyond Brezovica towards Koper. Delays are also reported on the Lesce-Bled and Razdrto-Postojna roads in both directions.
