Change in the organisation of freight traffic in Bratislava
DRIVING RESTRICTIONS13 March 2025
From March 2025, the new regulation will apply, allowing only vehicles over 3.5 tons intended for delivery purposes to pass through the Prístavný bridge (the D1 motorway bypass through Bratislava).
Transit traffic will be redirected from D2 (Pečňa – Petržalka) to D4, from where vehicles will access D1 through the newly opened branch at the D1/D4 junction.
Although the new route may slightly increase toll fees, it is a recommended and effective choice due to the time saved from reduced traffic congestion.
If the transit ban is violated, the driver may be fined up to EUR 1,000 in summary proceedings and up to EUR 1,500 in administrative proceedings.
