On Friday evening, a landslide near St. Anton am Arlberg (Tyrol) displaced the Arlberg federal road shortly before 7 p.m., which had to be closed in both directions on the Tyrolean side for the time being. However, as the Arlberg road tunnel is also currently closed due to renovation work, there are currently only large-scale alternative routes, for example via the B198 and the Lechtal valley or via Germany. The closure will remain in place indefinitely.
Current – Closure of the Arlberg road tunnel
The Arlberg road tunnel (S16) is expected to be completely closed until November 22, 2024 due to necessary renovation work in the summer months of 2024.
Information for cyclists: due to the renovation of the Arlberg road tunnel and the resulting ban on uphill cycling on the pass road, a bike cab is now also available on the Vorarlberg side. The “BIKE-TAXI-ARLBERG” is offered to get over the Arlberg Pass. By telephone (+43 676 441 73 50), cyclists can be transported to the top of the pass by cab and bicycle trailer between 07:30 and 18:30.
Current road-condition reports are available from the ÖAMTC and ARBÖ automobile clubs and via the local radio stations “ORF Radio Vorarlberg” and “Antenne Vorarlberg” (ultra-shortwave radio, frequencies posted along the highway).

Silvretta Hochalpenstraße (High Alpine Road)/Montafon

The toll road leads 22.3 km from Partenen in Montafon (1,051 m) in 34 hairpin bends over the Bielerhöhe at 2,032 m to Galtür (1,584 m) in Paznauntal. The Silvretta High Alpine Road is closed to public traffic in winter. The exact date of closure depends on weather/snow conditions. Current information and opening times here:
