This work is being carried out to ensure the safety of road users, and, for safety reasons, the tunnel will have to be closed during the maintenance work. Traffic will be diverted via the Ägeristrasse in Zug and Baar. In order to keep traffic disruptions to a minimum, the tunnel will only be closed outside the morning and evening traffic peaks, i.e. from 8.30 a.m. to approximately 4.30 p.m.
