The Autostrade Alto Adriatico
highway operator has released a forecast for heavy traffic on
the A4 during the Christmas holidays, with peak congestion
expected on Friday, December 20; Saturday, December 21;
Saturday, January 4; and Sunday, January 5.
A traffic congestion alert is forecast for the afternoon of
Friday, December 20, particularly along the highway stretch from
Venice to Trieste. As the day progresses, this alert is expected
to escalate to red due to the combined return of commercial
vehicles heading back to Eastern Europe and foreign workers
returning home. Consequently, delays and traffic jams are likely
at the Trieste Lisert toll booth.
Similar delays and traffic congestion may occur at the same
toll booth on the morning and afternoon of Saturday, December
21, as vacationers embark on their final departures. Traffic
conditions are expected to improve in the evening, with regular
flow anticipated from Sunday, December 22, to Friday, January 3.
The first weekend of 2025 will see traffic intensify again,
starting on the morning of Saturday, January 4, due to the
beginning of winter sales. Queues are anticipated at the San
Donà di Piave toll station for drivers from Trieste and Venice.
Increased traffic is expected at the Lisert toll booth
starting Saturday, January 4, into the afternoon as tourists and
workers return to Italy from Central and Eastern Europe. Heavy
traffic is also expected along the entire stretch from Trieste
to Venice.
On Sunday, January 5, traffic at the San Donà toll booth will
mirror Saturday's, with significant congestion anticipated along
the entire A4 highway towards Venice.
