Complete closure of the Jesenice – west motorway junction (Hrušica)
We inform drivers that Gorenjska gradbena družba from Kranj will carry out extensive renovation of the carriageway and two bridge structures (bridge over the Sava and overpass over the motorway) in the area of the Jesenice – west (Hrušica) junction for investor DARS.
Work schedule
The works will take place from 31 March 2026 to 18 June 2026.
Due to the nature of the works, two phases of closure will be established.
Phase 1: complete closure of the junction
In the first phase, the Jesenice – west (Hrušica) motorway junction will be fully closed to all traffic. Works will be carried out simultaneously on both bridges and the carriageway.
Planned detours:
• From direction of Ljubljana towards Kranjska Gora and Italy: diversion already at Lesce junction, then via Jesenice – east (Lipce) junction or via Karavanke plateau.
• From direction of Austria towards Kranjska Gora: diversion to Jesenice – east (Lipce) junction.
• From direction of Kranjska Gora towards Ljubljana:
o passenger vehicles: via Karavanke plateau,
o goods vehicles: through Jesenice to Jesenice – east (Lipce) junction or Lesce.
During traffic peaks, use of the Lesce motorway junction is recommended, as this relieves left turns at the signalized intersection at Slovenski Javornik and improves traffic flow
Phase 2: partial traffic release (closure of arms A and B)
After completion of works on the bridge over the Sava, arms C and D will be open to traffic.
Enabled will be:
• exit from the motorway towards Jesenice and Kranjska Gora from Ljubljana direction,
• access to Austria (Karavanke tunnel) from the parallel state road.
Detours remain as follows:
• From direction of Austria towards Kranjska Gora: diversion to Jesenice – east (Lipce) junction.
• From direction of Kranjska Gora towards Ljubljana:
o passenger vehicles: via Karavanke plateau,
o goods vehicles: through Jesenice to Jesenice – east (Lipce) junction or Lesce.
The contractor will subsequently inform about the exact date of transition from the first to the second phase.
Extensive traffic signage will be placed on the motorway and state roads. Drivers are asked to strictly follow traffic signs and detours and thus contribute to the best possible traffic flow.
