The Mont Blanc highway tunnel between France and northern Italy will be closed for 15 weeks from this Monday due to construction work. The tunnel company announced that the eleven-kilometer-long connection will be impassable until 16 December. More than 60 years after the tunnel was completed, two 300-metre-long vault sections are being renovated.
Traffic will have to use alternative routes during the work. These are mainly the A43, which also runs from France to northern Italy through the Fréjus Tunnel, and the route via the Great St. Bernard Tunnel between Valais and Italy.
