The return of good weather
expected for the entire Ferragosto (mid-August) holiday season
is encouraging the arrival of thousands of tourists to the
seaside resorts of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto as well as
the passage of vacationers heading across the border to the
coasts of Slovenia and Croatia. Added to these is the rush of
commuters who, on the other hand, last Saturday (the first day
of the great exodus) were not queued up to reach the sea because
of bad weather conditions. The combination of factors is
affecting traffic along Autostrade Alto Adriatico's network as
early as today's morning (marked with a red dot) and will be
even more so especially on Saturday, August 12, which will be
characterized until late afternoon by black dot traffic. Traffic
in these hours is particularly heavy in the direction of Trieste
with queues at times between Meolo and Palmanova; queues that
could continue until late afternoon near the construction sites
for the construction of the third lane and exiting at the
Trieste Lisert barrier. For tomorrow (red dot) until late in the
evening, there will be a continuous flow of tourists to the
seaside resorts especially towards Trieste with possible queues
even at the Lisert barrier. It is a kind of anticipation of what
will happen the following day, Saturday 12, when Autostrade Alto
Adriatico expects the transit of about 200 thousand vehicles. At
the Trieste/Lisert barrier 27 thousand vehicles are expected to
pass, at Villesse and Latisana about 16 thousand, and at San
Donà more than 9 thousand.Sunday, August 13, will be a red dot
day with transits expected to settle near 160 thousand, while by
Tuesday, August 15, traffic is expected to drop to 120/130
thousand.
