This is to allow for work continuing either side of the Drive, meaning it’s not yet safe for public access.

Health and safety is our number one concern so until work moves away from this area it will have to remain closed on weekdays. You can still access the area on weekends.

We’ll keep you updated through social media, and will announce the weekday reopening of Tunnel Drive on our website.
