Monte Jafferau Closed

Last summer, while we drove the Alps Tour, we where climbing the Monte Jafferau in Italy. About halfway, just after you passed the Fort Premant, there is a tunnel. This tunnel is about 700 mtr long with a big corner in it.

And the exit

But now it’s impossible to drive trough that tunnel, because they blocked the entrance on both sides…

The entrance how it is now

And the exit... it's impossible to enter the tunnel

I have no idea why they blocked it… Is it because of the snowfall in the winter? In that case its pretty drastic! Or is it because ‘they’ don’t want ‘we’ drive this route anymore?
I think it’s because the tunnel is in realy bad condition, and it’s to dangerous! They have lengthened the tunnel a long time ago because the road collapsed, so for me that’s most likely… But i’m not sure!

The old tunnel, much darker, and the walls are reinforced
