The Karavanka tunnel has been closed due to an accident, and a 10 km column has already formed.

On the last Saturday of August, heavy traffic congestion occurred along the coastal motorway towards the coast and from the interior of Slovenia towards the north due to returning tourists. The Karavanke Tunnel on the Gornja (Upper) Motorway was closed in both directions after a traffic accident. Alternative routes were suggested, but they were also heavily congested. Traffic jams extended up to ten kilometers near the tunnel and affected surrounding roads, including the route through Jesenice. Additional traffic disruptions were reported on other motorways, such as near Šentilj, between Pesnica and Šentilj toward Austria, and on the road from Kranjska Gora over Vršič toward Trento. Traffic was also disrupted on the main road between Bled and Bohinj, where alternating one-way traffic was implemented. Congestion was noted on several other roads across Slovenia.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on traffic congestion caused by accidents and tourist activity, which is a logistical issue rather than a politically charged topic. There is no indication of ideological framing, biased language, or selective emphasis on particular viewpoints.
