Tens of thousands of vehicles travel through the Pisárek Tunnel in the southwestern part of Brno daily, providing a crucial link between the D1 highway, the city’s outer ring road, the city center, the exhibition grounds, and other important transportation hubs. Starting Monday, October 12th, both the Pisárek Tunnel and the adjacent Hlinky Tunnel will be completely closed for 40 days. This closure is expected to create a difficult situation for drivers navigating the area. The extended disruption will impact commuters and through traffic alike, requiring significant route adjustments. Authorities have not yet detailed diversion plans, suggesting potential for considerable congestion. Motorists are advised to anticipate delays and seek alternative routes during the closure period. The complete shutdown is necessary for unspecified maintenance or construction work within the tunnels.
