The Gotthard Pass will reopen on Friday, which is earlier than planned.
The Federal Roads Office says the winter closure can be lifted thanks to light snowfall and rapid clearing and repair work on the mountain route.

At the same time, the extended exit lane at Göschenen will also return to service, designed to reduce traffic diverting through local villages during peak congestion.
