One lane is closed in both directions and you are only allowed to drive through the tunnel at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour. What is going on?

Some manhole covers came loose last week and are causing delays in the city center.
50 kilos heavy
After the manhole covers came loose, the municipality immediately took measures. Normally you can drive through the Europatunnel at 70 kilometers per hour, now with only 30 kilometers per hour. The points with which the fifty-kilogram manhole covers are attached do not offer enough stability in the concrete edge. As a result, you cannot drive through the tunnel at full speed.
Patience
The measures are short-term: together with the contractors, the municipality is looking for a permanent solution for properly securing the manhole covers. More information about the repair work will become clear next week. To be continued!
