At the north portal of the Gotthard road tunnel, vehicles were jammed for a length of 12 kilometers on Saturday morning. The time lost on the way south between Erstfeld and Göschenen in the canton of Uri was about two hours.
To avoid traffic congestion, TCS recommended the route on the A13 through the San Bernardino Tunnel as an alternate route south, as the traffic service wrote on its website Saturday.
