Comments:

Expect short delays (up to 10 minutes) at roadworks near Sinclair Road, until sealing later this week or early next (weather permitting).

Area East of Homer Tunnel - Alpine Operations Centre (AOC) to East Portal - is scheduled to be resurfaced for a week from Monday 26th January.

Traffic flows will be co-ordinated with tunnel operations, therefore minimal delays are expected.

Parking areas outside AOC will be unavailable from Sunday 25th January while this work is undertaken.



Weather forecast for the Homer Tunnel area:

Today: Mainly fine 

Tomorrow: Cloud increasing, odd shower later

Thursday: Rain, easing to showers

Friday: Showers, mainly south of Lake Gunn
