  • Traffic is backed up for twelve kilometers in front of the north portal of the Gotthard road tunnel.
  • Travelers have to allow for a waiting time of around two hours.

The waiting time was around two hours, as reported by the TCS traffic service on X. Meanwhile, the alternative route to the south via the A13 national road was impassable on Saturday due to the storm in the southern Graubünden valley of Misox. Due to the flooding following the storm on Friday evening, a section of the A13 was destroyed, as was reported at the press conference in Roveredo GR on Saturday.
