A vehicle fire occurred near the Italian border, specifically between Nanos and Vipava, shortly before 3 p.m. The incident involved a cargo vehicle that was burning, leading authorities to close the entire section of the main highway in both directions. This major closure has caused significant disruption to regional travel patterns.
Beyond the immediate area of the fire on the Vipava highway, traffic congestion is developing across several key routes due to the afternoon peak period. Disruptions have been reported on the Styrian highway. Traffic backups are noted in the direction toward Ljubljana, between Slovenj Gradec and Golim Rebro.
Additionally, congestion is occurring in the direction toward Maribor, affecting travel from Ljubljana to Domžale and between Dramlje and Pletovarje. Furthermore, the Slovenian-Italian motorway is experiencing delays. Travelers heading from Ljubljana toward Brezovica, and those traveling on the segment approaching Koper from Postojna, should anticipate slowdowns.
Local circulation is also impacted, with backups reported on the Ljubljana southern ring road near the Center interchange, heading toward Malenc. Motorists are advised to anticipate delays and plan alternate routes due to the combination of the major burning incident and the resulting gridlock on multiple connecting highways.
