Višňové Tunnel Closed Due to Car Fire, Traffic Diverted Through Strečno

Višňové Tunnel Closed Due to Car Fire, Traffic Diverted Through Strečno

The Višňové Tunnel on the D1 Lietavská Lúčka – Dubná Skala motorway section was closed in both directions on Thursday morning, October 8. The reason is a fire of a passenger car in the tunnel tube heading toward Martin. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗

Traffic through the tunnel is impassable in both directions. Drivers therefore must expect restrictions and use the alternative route via road I/18 through the Strečno gorge. Refresher.sk ↗

The closure affects the motorway section between Lietavská Lúčka and Dubná Skala. The fire was recorded in the tunnel tube leading toward Martin, after which the tunnel was subsequently closed to traffic in both directions. teraz.sk ↗

Drivers heading through this section are advised to respect the traffic signage and follow the instructions for the detour through the Strečno gorge. Available information does not yet indicate how long the closure will last or whether the fire caused any injuries. Further developments will depend on the course of the intervention and the subsequent safety check of the tunnel.
