The Women's Handball European Championship is in full swing, with Vienna joining as a host city from this coming Thursday. In addition, the second shopping Saturday of Advent is approaching. The ARBÖ has predicted traffic jams in advance.

"On the match days on Thursday, 05.12., Saturday, 07.12., Monday, 09.12. and Wednesday, 11.12, Hall D of the Vienna City Hall will be well filled with thousands of handball fans, if not sold out, despite appointments during the week," the ARBÖ explained on Tuesday in a press release in view of the sporting event. "Major events in the Vienna City Hall also always mean traffic jams and long delays on the Neubaugürtel, the Hütteldorfer Straße, the streets in the Nibelungenviertel as well as partly on the Felberstraße and Märzstraße, the ARBÖ traffic experts know."

Shopping Saturday and Handball European Championship in Vienna: Traffic Jams Threaten

In addition, the second shopping Saturday of Advent is also approaching. "Similar to last Saturday, the shopping streets and the access and departure routes to the shopping centres in and around the major cities will be the focus of traffic jam reporting. In the greater Vienna area, drivers should expect the first traffic jams from 9:00 am onwards," the motorists' club explained in advance. "'Traditionally', the Altmannsdorfer Straße outbound will be the start of the traffic jams. Not much later, there will be delays on the South Motorway (A2) between the Vienna city limit and Wiener Neudorf, the South-East Tangent (A23) and the Vienna North Edge Expressway (S2) between the Prater junction and the Hermann-Gebauer-Straße. In the city, the longest delays are likely to be measured on the Belt, the 2-er line as well as the Franz-Josefs-Kai and the Ring."
