The National Highway Company and the Slovak Road Administration announced several key closures to manage traffic during the autumn holidays and All Saints' Day weekend. 

Maintenance on the Višňové Tunnel involves closing both tubes from October 25 until noon on October 28, with traffic diverted via the I/18 route through the Strečany Gorge and Žilina. Additional restrictions on the D1 highway include a lane closure between Piešťany and Horná Streda until October 30, and bridge joint replacements between Ovčiarsko and Žilina through October 31, which will restrict traffic to a single lane and an emergency lane.
