The Mont Blanc tunnel closed to traffic last night for maintenance works; the closures are to be repeated for another 3 nights.
The maintenance works are to be carried out from 22:00 to 6:00, during which time the tunnel will be closed.
New tolls for the Mont Blanc and Frejus tunnels also to came into effect as of January 1st 2021.
The toll increase of 0.63% for all vehicles is being justified on the basis of inflation in both Italy and France, as well as costs associated with running safety checks.
Toll charges for the Mont Blanc Tunnel are available here, while the equivalent charges for the Frejus tunnel can be found here.
