The works, which will restrict the tunnel to one-way operation from 9 pm to 6 am (ie overnight) began last week and continue this week, 11 – 15 July.

There are three different projects underway:

• Replacement of the centre line smart studs (illuminated cat’s eyes) for the full length of the tunnel
• Cleaning and replacement of the tunnel lighting and
• Installation of air quality monitoring equipment.

By coordinating these works, the Transport Agency is able to will save a further seven nights of closure, said Transport Agency Journey Manager Lee Wright.
