We want to keep you informed about the latest developments that may impact your travel plans in the Mont Blanc Tunnel and surrounding areas.

As previously advised, the full closure of the Mont Blanc Tunnel, initially scheduled to start on Monday, 4 September, has been postponed. This change is due to the closure of the Fréjus tunnel to heavy goods vehicles.

Access to Fréjus Tunnel: The A43, which provides access to the Fréjus tunnel for heavy goods vehicles, will remain closed until it is deemed safe to reopen.

Traffic Control on RN205: To ensure smooth traffic flow and avoid long queues on the access road to the Mont Blanc tunnel, authorities have implemented traffic control measures. These restrictions apply to vehicles over 7.5 tonnes traveling toward Italy on RN205. They will be in effect until 9 September 2023, 22:00.
