Trucks waiting up to 6 hours for crossing into Austria

Budapest, July 4 (MTI) – Truck drivers on their way to Austria may have to wait up to 6 hours at Hegyeshalom due to ad-hoc checks by Austrian authorities, police in western Hungary said on Monday.

The trucks waiting at the border have formed a 20km tailback, a police spokesperson said, adding that although cars were being allowed through unimpeded, their passage was slow.

Police have asked car drivers are to choose Sopron or Vámosszabadi as alternative crossing points, and to visit the police’s website for information on current waiting times.
