Gridlock Galore: Delays Up to 30 Minutes
Drivers headed to work face delays of up to half an hour due to this traffic chaos. The long halt on the A22 meant a crawl for drivers at a snail's pace. Emergency services rushed to attend to the medical emergency, and, well, here we are with a traffic jam over a kilometer long.
Graz-Bound Routes: Delays Too!
Even those traveling towards Graz have been affected. If you're near Hirschstetten or the Prater interchange, expect delays of up to 15 minutes.
While the web isn't providing live updates on traffic conditions or the specifics of this medical emergency, it's best to check real-time traffic sources like ASFiNAG (Austria's motorway operator) or apps like Google Maps or Waze for live updates on lane closures or diversions. There's no sign of any major disruptions, according to the latest available data (April 2025).
Not to mention the A22 around Vienna's Donau City is part of the area's infrastructure, with sections covered to create additional urban space[1]. However, the latest search results offer no current traffic data. If the incident occurred near Donau City, it might affect access to the 22nd district and connections to A23. For Graz-bound routes, disruptions would need to occur farther south to directly impact those journeys[2].
