The Sitina Tunnel, a key passage on the D2 highway in Bratislava, will be temporarily closed to traffic this weekend as part of its scheduled maintenance. The closure is set to begin Saturday evening at 10 p.m. and will last until Sunday morning around 10 a.m.

This regular maintenance is essential for ensuring the tunnel's continued safe operation. The Bratislava regional police department announced the closure on social media, urging drivers to seek out alternative routes to avoid disruption.

This weekend's maintenance is not an isolated event. The National Highway Company (NDS) has indicated that similar closures will occur the following weekend. Specifically, the tunnel will be closed during the nights of Friday, May 29, to Saturday, May 30, and again from Saturday night to Sunday morning, May 31.

Over these four nights, the approximately 1.5-kilometer-long tunnel will undergo a thorough cleaning and inspection. The NDS assures that these measures are crucial for the tunnel's upkeep and safety.
