A4 Counter-exodus, heavy traffic expected at the Lisert gate

(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 16 AGO - Autostrade Alto Adriatico is anticipating heavy traffic flows entering Lisert due to the counter-exodus and the return of vacationers from Croatia and Slovenia. This coming weekend, an estimated 27,000 vehicles will enter the Trieste toll gate on Saturday and around 26,000 on Sunday. Last year, there were traffic jams of up to 7 kilometers between 12 PM and 5 PM on Saturday and a maximum of 4 kilometers between 1 PM and 5 PM on Sunday.
    The road scenario in the section between Sistiana and Lisert has changed due to reconstruction work on the Sistiana overpass, managed by Fvg Strade. The Sistiana exit remains closed in both directions towards Venice. To ease congestion and not burden the local road network, Autostrade Alto Adriatico has collaborated with Dars (Slovenian Motorways) so that using the H4 route (Podnanos-Vrtoiba) with reentry onto the A34 (Gorizia-Villesse) is recommended if necessary. Variable message signs indicate this route from 8 AM to 8 PM tomorrow, Sunday, and the following weekend.
    In preparation for the counter-exodus, Autostrade Alto Adriatico has increased its toll booth staff at the Lisert and Villesse tolls. Tomorrow, a "black day" on the traffic calendar, intermittent traffic jams may also occur on the A4 in the Villesse-Nodo di Palmanova section and the two-lane section between Portogruaro and San Donà due to the simultaneous influx and return of tourists.
