Glion Tunnel

It carries autoroute A9, which links the Vaud canton to the Valais, and was placed in service in November 1970.

[1] During 2004-2005 the tunnels were renovated to bring them into conformity with the recommendations of the Tunnel Task Force, whose report was published in May 2000.

The old tunnels were dark and did not conform to modern safety standards.

Work was performed on one tunnel at a time, with traffic diverted through the other gallery.

The construction resulted in major delays.
