In an official announcement released at the time of the the Fréjus Tunnel reopening to freight vehicles, the French and Italian authorities confirmed what would happen regarding the Mont Blanc repairs that had been scheduled for September 4.
The 14-week repairs have been postponed by a year “due to the complexity of the project”.
However, other maintenance work planned at the tunnel this year, which is estimated to require a closure of 7 weeks, will take place.
This closure for these works is not planned before the end of this week.
According to Mont Blanc Tunnel, additional assessments are being carried out, and the precise planning of the work, as well as the closure timetable, will be determined “as soon as possible”.
