That the southern descent to France is closed is only apparent at the top of the pass. Before that, on the Italian side (Limone), the pass is always open, tunnel closed for bicycles..
There is no way through on the French side, even though the road is only 10m away and the construction workers immediately threaten with the police...
I had to cycle back up the almost 700m and take a huge detour via Casterino (Salzstrasse).
