For those who travel to the Gold Coast regularly, Transport for NSW want to advise you that the Tugun Bypass Tunnel on the Pacific Motorway will be temporarily closed on multiple nights during October for essential maintenance.

To minimise the impacts on motorists, work will be carried out at night, from 7pm to 5am on Tuesday 14, Wednesday 15, and Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 October.

During the night closures, detours suitable for all vehicle types are available.

Northbound traffic will exit the M1 Pacific Motorway via the Kennedy Drive exit, take Sugarwood Drive to Gold Coast Highway, then take Tugun Currumbin Road and rejoin the M1 Pacific Motorway at the Stewart Road on-ramp.

Southbound traffic will exit the M1 Pacific Motorway at Tugun Currumbin Road (Exit 95) and follow to the Gold Coast Highway, then Cordyline Drive to re-join the M1 Pacific Motorway at the Kennedy Drive on-ramp.

You are advised to allow up to five minutes of additional travel time, drive to the conditions and follow the direction of signs and traffic control.
