A significant traffic disruption has been reported on Slovenia's highways, causing prolonged delays and congestion across multiple regions. The incident began due to an accident on the coastal highway, which led to a major bottleneck extending from the Ljubljana bypass to the outskirts of the capital city. According to reports from the traffic information center, the affected area includes the section between Brezovica and Kopr, where the main lane was blocked, resulting in a severe backlog that stretches as far as the Ljubljana central bypass and the Kosez junction. Travelers attempting to navigate the inner ring road around Ljubljana were advised to expect a travel time of over 38 minutes, while those using the outer ring faced a slightly shorter duration of about 30 minutes. Additionally, the journey towards Ljubljana itself has been significantly delayed, with travel times exceeding one hour. The situation has also impacted other sections of the country’s motorways. On the Styrian motorway, there have been closures affecting both directions, particularly near the Dramlje junction and the Pletovarje tunnel heading towards Maribor. Another blockage occurred between Zadobrovo and Sneberji, which is directed towards Celje. These disruptions have contributed to increased traffic volumes on local roads and streets leading out of urban centers, creating further bottlenecks. Additional congestion has been noted on the Styrian motorway between the Slovenska Bistrica South junction and the Golo Rebro tunnel heading towards Ljubljana, as well as between the Celje East junction and the Pletovarje tunnel towards Maribor, and between Zadobrovo and Šentjakob towards Maribor. On the coastal motorway, delays have been recorded between Ravbarko command and Postojno towards Kopr, between Razdrt and Postojno towards Ljubljana, and on certain segments between Vrhniko and Brezovica towards Ljubljana. These incidents have caused widespread inconvenience for drivers, prompting alternative routes to be considered. For instance, the closure of the Vipava fast road between Ajdovščina and Nanos towards Nanos has led some motorists to seek detours via the regional road connecting Ajdovščina to Razdrto, which is accessible to private vehicles. Traffic conditions have deteriorated beyond the motorways, with slowdowns observed on several local roads. This includes the southern Ljubljana bypass, where congestion has developed between Vič and Malencam towards the Dolnjska region, and between the city center and Kozarje towards the Primorska region. Similarly, the western bypass has experienced delays between Brdo and Kozarje towards the Primorska region. In addition, similar issues have been reported on the roads connecting Izola to Strunjan and Lesce to Bled, as well as on the Austrian side of the Karavanke tunnel approaching Slovenia and near Šentilj towards Slovenia. These developments come during the first weekend of July, traditionally a peak period for road traffic in Slovenia. The combination of seasonal travel and unexpected accidents has placed additional strain on the national transportation network. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, urging drivers to remain vigilant and consider alternative routes when necessary. As the day progresses, it remains to be seen whether these disruptions will ease or if further complications arise.
