  • The 100-year-old Uruti Tunnel on Uruti Road could remain closed until later next month as crews work to repair it after a roof collapse caused by last month’s heavy rain.
  • NPDC crews and contractors are working to clear rubble and to strengthen the support framework inside the tunnel.
  • Drivers are asked to take alternative routes until the tunnel can be reopened.
  • “We’re sorry for any inconvenience, but this is an old tunnel and we have to make sure we’re taking the best possible care of it,” said NPDC Transport Manager Rui Leitao.
