Severe weather causes major traffic disruptions in Croatia and Montenegro

Orkansk winds and severe weather have caused significant traffic disruptions across Croatia and Montenegro. In Croatia, the Croatian Automobile Club (HAK) reported the total closure of the A1 motorway between the Sveti Rok and Posedarje junctions, as well as the Maslenica–Zaton Obrovački road, the Adriatic Highway between Senj and Sveta Marija Magdalene, and the Paški Bridge for all vehicle categories.

Certain routes in Croatia, including sections of the A6 motorway and the Omiš bypass, remain open exclusively to passenger vehicles. Restrictions also apply to buses, motorcycles, and vehicles with trailers on various coastal roads. Additionally, several ferry, catamaran, and boat lines have been suspended due to the storm.

In Montenegro, the Auto-Moto Association of Montenegro (AMSCG) warned of wet and slippery road conditions, particularly in higher mountain regions, with a risk of minor landslides. Ongoing road reconstruction projects in areas such as the Đurđevića Tara bridge, the R-15 and R-29 regional roads, and the Sozina tunnel have also necessitated various traffic restrictions and alternating traffic flows.
