No light at end of Howald Tunnel

(CS) Further closures of the Howald Tunnel will be needed to remove the yellow road markings used during the 2010 refurbishment.

While no date has been set for these works, they are meant to be completed before the year is out.

The yellow paint used for the temporary road markings was removed partially when construction was completed on the tunnel in November 2010. The rest of the paint was meant to wear off with time.

As the pavement used for the new surface is permeable to water, however, some of the paint has been absorbed by the material and will now have to be removed professionally.

As with the previous construction site alternating lanes will be closed to traffic. The duration of the works is not known at this time.
