Talks are now underway to rethink the project’s traffic impact.

The Monaco Government announced on Thursday 25th September that it has stepped in to suspend a major construction project on the moyenne corniche, following extensive dialogue with the Mairie of Cap-d’Ail and the project’s developer. The move comes after serious traffic congestion caused by the works left daily commuters to the Principality facing severe delays.

Effective since Wednesday, the suspension will remain in place through to Sunday 5th October.

Recognising the impact on travel into and out of Monaco, the Government described the conditions as “intolerable” for both workers and local residents.

Plans in motion to reduce peak-hour pressure

The Government says that discussions are actively continuing between all parties to revise the construction plan, but it has reaffirmed that any continuation of the project must include measures that prevent lane closures during peak traffic hours.
