Those traveling by car in Saxony at Easter must be prepared for full roads and traffic jams. According to the ADAC, there was already heavy traffic on the highways early on Thursday morning. On the Autobahn 14 near Leipzig, for example, a kilometer-long traffic jam is said to have formed after an accident between a truck and a car. Traffic was also gridlocked on the A4 towards Dresden and on the A72 near Borna and Zwickau.
"Maundy Thursday is traditionally one of the most congested days of the year," said an ADAC spokesperson. It gets particularly tight at roadworks and freeway junctions such as the Dresden triangle (A4/A13) and the Chemnitz junction (A4/A72).
