Testing the Albert II tunnel directions
An initial test to reverse the direction of traffic in the Albert II tunnel will take place on Tuesday the 11th of April, from 10am onwards. Therefore, for example, vehicles coming from Fontvieille will be able to reach the Moyenne Corniche via the Marquet link, then the tunnel Albert II.
As a reminder, the structure, which was opened to traffic in July 2016, enabled traffic during rush hour to be alleviated by roughly 60% along the Jardin Exotique / Boulevard Rainier III.
Maintenance work has been carried out to allow this reversal to happen in case of necessity.
The Albert II tunnel connecting the Boulevard du Jardin Exotique to the Boulevard Rainier III is now in service. The 1,700-meter-long, one-lane tunnel is designed to reduce traffic on the Boulevard du Jardin Exotique, Rainier III Boulevard, Prince Pierre Avenue and the Basse Corniche.
