A tunnel on a major road has re-opened following technical issues but one lane remains closed with drivers still experiencing delays.

The Hindhead tunnel has reopened in both direction after a technical issue resulted in it closing on Thursday, May 2. Despite the tunnel now being open, there are still technical issues ongoing which means there is currently one lane closed northbound as workmen try to resolve the issue.

National Highways: South-East provided an update via X: “1 lane remains closed northbound on the #A3 #HindheadTunnel in #Surrey. Engineers are on scene working to resolve the technical issue. Thank you for you patience.”
