Zell am See Austria - Due to the Ironman 70.3 Tri-athlon bike race on Sunday the most important intersections will be blocked for hours.
 
If you want to use the Pinzgauerstrasse next Sunday, you have to plan well.
 
From 11:00 to about 17:00 the cycle race of the Ironman 70.3 Tri-athlon heads through Zell am See, Bruck, Kaprun, Piesendorf, Taxenbach, Lend, Dienten, Maria Alm, the east of Saalfelden, and Maishofen.
 
You can only reach all destinations by car after 23:00.
 
Werner Dannhauser of the Organizing Committee says there are no restrictions on rail traffic.
 
"The Pinzgauer Lokalbahn operates between Niedernsill and Zell am See free of charge and serves as a shuttle for the spectators."
 
Visitors arriving by car can travel to the Areitparkplatz in Schüttdorf by 11:00.
 
From there the train goes to the Wechselzone at the Latini Stadium and to the city center.
 
Pedestrians and cyclists can cross the track in contrast to cars.
 
A total of 2,000 voluntary helpers are involved.
 
30,000 spectators are expected to arrive.
 
A total of 4,000 athletes participate in the main competition on Sunday and the race for women and children on the day before.
 
The tri-athlon brings about four million Euros of added value to the region.
