Location of the Col de Tende Road Tunnel

Col de Tende Road Tunnel is a 3182 metre long road tunnel running under Col de Tende between France and Italy. It was inaugurated in 1882 ^[1] and it was until 1964 the longest road tunnel in the Alps. At its opening time it was the world's longest road tunnel. Altitude on the French side: 1,280 m; Italian side: 1,321 m.

The tunnel and its access roads were damaged by Storm Alex in October 2020, closing the tunnel. As of June 2021 ^[update], repair work is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. ^[2]
