Authorities have announced updated opening times for the Col de Tende tunnel, which will remain subject to ongoing works on the French side of the border.

From 15th to 28th September, the tunnel will be open on weekdays from 12pm to 1pm and from 6pm to 9pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, access will be limited to the evening slot between 6pm and 9pm.

From 29th September to 4th December, the weekday timetable will change slightly, with the tunnel accessible from 6pm to 8pm and again from 6pm to 9pm, while weekend openings will remain from 6pm to 9pm.

From 5th December to 11th January, the tunnel will be open daily from 6pm to 9pm.

Works continue on the French side

Officials have confirmed that the tunnel cannot yet operate at full capacity, as construction work continues on the French side of the border. The works are expected to require several more months before completion.
