A major traffic disruption has occurred on several highways in Slovenia due to accidents and congestion, particularly affecting the Primorska and Štajerska motorways. The incidents have caused significant delays for drivers traveling between major cities and regions. According to reports from the traffic information center, the most affected area is near Brezovica heading towards Koper on the Primorska motorway. This bottleneck extends all the way to the Ljubljana ring road, including the Kosez junction and the Ljubljana Center connection. Travel times have been notably increased—drivers using the inner circle of the Ljubljana ring road now face a 38-minute journey, while those taking the outer route require about 30 minutes. Additionally, travel times toward Ljubljana have exceeded one hour in some directions.
The disruptions are not limited to the Primorska motorway. On the Štajerska motorway, the overtaking lane has been closed between the Dramlje junction and the Pletovarje tunnel heading toward Maribor. Traffic is also hindered between Zadobrovo and Sneberji heading toward Celje. Increased traffic has been recorded on urban ring roads and main routes leading into city centers. Congestion is present on the Štajerska motorway between the Slovenska Bistrica south junction and the Golo Rebro tunnel heading toward Ljubljana, as well as between the Celje east junction and the Pletovarje tunnel toward Maribor, and between Zadobrovo and Šentjakob heading toward Maribor.
On the Primorska motorway, traffic jams are reported between Ravbar and Postojna heading toward Koper, between Razdrt and Postojna heading toward Ljubljana, and on certain sections between Vrhnik and Brezovica heading toward Ljubljana. These bottlenecks are causing widespread frustration among commuters and travelers who rely on these routes for daily commutes or long-distance travel.
The situation is exacerbated by a collision that occurred between Kozina and Kastelc on the Primorska motorway, which has further restricted movement. In addition, a malfunctioning truck has blocked the Vipava fast lane between Ajdovščina and Nanos heading toward Nanos. Drivers seeking an alternative route can use the regional road connecting Ajdovščina to Razdrto, though this detour adds time and complexity to their journeys.
Traffic congestion is not confined to the motorways alone. Bottlenecks are also being reported on multiple segments of the country’s infrastructure. On the Štajerska motorway, there are jams between Slovenski Konjici and Golo Rebro heading toward Ljubljana, between Celje east and Pletovarje heading toward Maribor, and between Ljubljana and Šentjakob heading toward Celje. On the Primorska motorway, traffic is slow between Ljubljana and Brezovica heading toward Koper, between Razdrt and Postojna heading toward Ljubljana, and between Unc and Postojna heading toward Koper.
Congestion is also impacting the southern part of the Ljubljana ring road between Vič and Malenci heading toward Dolenjska, as well as between the city center and Kozarje heading toward Primorska. Similarly, the western section of the Ljubljana ring road experiences delays between Brdo and Kozarje heading toward Primorska. Other affected areas include the roads connecting Izola to Strunjan and Lesce to Bled, as well as the Austrian side of the Karawanks tunnel heading toward Slovenia and near Šentilj heading toward Slovenia.
These developments come during the first week of July, a period traditionally marked by higher traffic volumes. The combination of seasonal travel patterns and unexpected incidents has created a challenging environment for road users. As the summer season progresses, similar conditions could become more frequent unless measures are taken to manage traffic flow and prevent such incidents in the future.
