Since yesterday, October 16, it has been the closing period of the Mont Blanc tunnel has begun. For 9 consecutive weeks, you will not be able to circular due to a series of maintenance works that are no longer suitable. postponable. The reopening to traffic is expected by Monday 18 December 2023, 10pm.
In reality, this is the first part of maintenance work that will take place over the next 18 years. In fact, until the works are completed, closures of 3 or 4 months are expected every year. Clearly, the closure of the Mont Blanc tunnel that connects Courmayeur, in the Aosta Valley, to Chamonix, in France will cause traffic problemsas it is a very busy route. Cars and heavy vehicles, therefore, will have to take alternative routes during the works period.
ALTERNATIVE ROUTES
Precisely for this reason it is a map of alternative itineraries has been created, developed with the Prefectures of the Valle d’Aosta and Haute-Savoie regions which we report. Among the alternative routes, in particular, the Gran San Bernardo tunnel and the Frejus tunnel. Only light vehicles can also travel the "Col des Montets" passes and "Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard".
Attention, however, that from 10.00 pm to 6.00 am on the Gran San Bernardo Tunnel there is the circulation ban for vehicles with a total mass exceeding 7.5 tonnes and vehicles with a height exceeding 4 metres. Furthermore, from the middle of the month of October, for the entire winter period, the Great Saint Bernard Pass is closed where, however, there is the ban on transit of vehicles with a total mass exceeding 16 tonnes.
Along the alternative roads, traffic activities will be reduced to a minimum. of construction site. A choice made to not put even more traffic conditions are under stress which in these months will be put to the test. It is estimated that approximately 90% of heavy vehicles will head towards the Frejus Tunnel, while light vehicles will split up, depending on the location. of origin and destination, between the Gran San Bernardo, the Frejus and the Alpine hills.
For those who will have to travel these roads during the closing period of the Mont Blanc tunnel, the suggestion is that of keeping yourself informed about the state of the road by using, for example, the iCCISS or MyWay apps or by accessing the CCISS or Autostrade per l'Italia websites.
