For motorists, this meant that the journey from Erstfeld to the tunnel portal in Göschenen took around one hour and 49 minutes. Before the south portal in Airolo TI, however, vehicles had free passage.

The road tunnel is 16.9 kilometers long and is considered the bottleneck of the A2 freeway. It has only one lane in each direction and is used by two-way traffic.
