The Višňové tunnel on the D1 motorway near Žilina was closed in both directions on Saturday afternoon, June 20, due to a smoking vehicle. The police reported the event on the portal of the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic and stated that emergency services were intervening at the scene. Refresher.sk ↗
The closure affected both driving directions, so the tunnel was temporarily impassable for drivers traveling on the D1 motorway. According to available information, the cause was a smoking vehicle, which required the intervention of emergency services at the scene. Details about the type of vehicle, any possible injuries, or the extent of damage were not provided in the available information. ta3.com ↗
The traffic situation in Slovakia was also complicated in other places on Saturday. In addition to the closure of the Višňové tunnel, significant train delays were reported following a tragic accident, as well as problems on the D1 motorway after a truck accident. These events may have contributed to delays in both road and rail transport. Novy Cas ↗
Further developments depend on the completion of the emergency services' intervention and the verification of the tunnel's safety. Drivers must expect restrictions until traffic is restored in both directions. pravda.sk ↗
