Further action was taken, as I outlined earlier. Additional safety measures were introduced, including the upgrading and replacement of equipment, improvements to equipment maintenance procedures, additional monitoring of the tunnel through the establishment of a dedicated, manned CCTV monitoring system in the control room and an additional drive through patrol of the tunnel by the operator's staff. Following the introduction of those measures last year, Egis Tunnels stated it was satisfied the tunnel operator, Transroute, had taken appropriate and sufficient steps to allow the tunnel to continue to operate safely.
