Night closure of the A26 between Arona and Gravellona Toce
Date of the event:
On the night between Sunday 8 and Monday 9 November 2026, on the A26 Genoa Voltri–Gravellona Toce motorway, traffic was closed in the section between Arona and Gravellona Toce, in the direction of Gravellona, to allow the passage of oversized transports. The closure was in force from 10 p.m. on Sunday to 4 a.m. on Monday.[1]
How the closure worked
In addition to the main section, the Baveno interchange was also closed, both for traffic entering towards Genoa and for traffic exiting coming from Gravellona Toce.[1]
Alternative routes
Drivers travelling on the A26 towards Gravellona were required to exit at the Arona toll station, rejoining the motorway via the SS33 Sempione state road, then re-entering the A26 at Verbania or Gravellona. For the Baveno interchange, the Arona, Verbania, Meina or Carpugnino toll stations were given as alternatives, the last recommended for light vehicles only.[1]
