Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

RECORD lorry traffic is flowing through the Frejus Tunnel, the Franco/Italian Alpine link opened in 1980.

The tunnel company reports an 18 per cent increase last year by 35,802 vehicles over 1983, and there was a further leap of 22 per cent in the first quarter of this year, with daily commercial vehicle traffic averaging 787 vehicles.

And the tunnel achieved an off-peak record of traffic on March 20 this year when 1,428 vehicles used the route.

Further growth in traffic is anticipated from July when an Autoport is opened on the Italian side and a second tunnel is opened at Serre-LaVoute.
