It's planned to open to traffic in July.

There is a Community 'open' day on Sat 14th May giving people the opportunity to walk through it. It's a ticket only event and sold out a few weeks back.

Childish would be going through in 6th because it's cool. what possible harm is there in driving along at 20mph?

I seem to remember a tunnel run was being talked about some time ago I was just wondering if it had been finalised. It would be a shame Not to use it for pleasure as well as work!
