Long traffic jams have formed at the border crossings to Poland during the Christmas travel period. According to the police, traffic on the Autobahn 4 was backed up for up to 18 kilometers on Saturday. This was caused by the entry checks carried out by the Polish police.
Many drivers diverted to country roads, which also caused long traffic jams on the main roads 6 and 115. Roads in the city of Görlitz were also congested. The police closed the Kodersdorf junction to relieve congestion on the country roads. This also had an effect, they said.
On Sunday morning, the closure was lifted again. According to the traffic warning service, traffic on the A4 was flowing smoothly again.
