The Brenner Pass was closed on Saturday due to a demonstration, as reported by Zeit. The blockade is expected to last at least eight hours. Police and authorities have prepared for possible operations.

The closure affects one of the most important north-south routes through the Alps. Travelers heading to Italy must expect significant disruptions. Even before the blockade began, traffic had built up on the Brenner motorway, according to t-online.de.
