Thank you for submitting this report.
Due to an ongoing intermittent fault with the traffic lights at the tunnel, to ensure everyone’s safety we have had to keep the speed restriction in place, please be assured we are working hard to find a resolution to the issue. The fault only relates to the traffic lights on the northbound carriageway, and with the southbound carriageway being unaffected, we did not need to reduce the speed limit in that direction. The speed limit restriction should add less than a minute of delay to journeys through the tunnel. However, I acknowledge that this is undesirable and comes with the potential for additional congestion delays, as soon as we can safely return to the national speed limit we will do so.
Kind regards National Highways
