I've read 10:30am. I guessed around 10-11 so this fits well..

I'll go up at 11am and report back.

Heard that too.. They're still down to 1 lane from Thursley to the tunnel entrance due to some armco that needs putting in place.

I'm going to go down later at like 9pm to have a look.. Should be quieter then.

Only takes ten mins to get through the traffic. Single lane in place whilst central armco going up in places. Sports exhaust sounds great in the tunnel! Average speed cameras running through it so be careful.

Northbound side opening Friday apparently.

So went over the punchbowl northbound for the last time tonight & then finally got to drive through the tunnel. Amazing how quickly you seem to go through it, even at 60. Shame nothing loud and restless was going through as I had the roof down. frown

Northbound tomorrow.
