Government closely monitoring Aberdeen Tunnel traffic
**
In response to press enquiries, a spokesman for the Transport Department said today (Thursday) that the Government had been closely monitoring the impact on traffic of the industrial dispute between the staff and the Cross Harbour Tunnel Company Limited, Government's contractor for the operation and management of the Aberdeen Tunnel.
While the Labour Department will continue to mediate in the industrial dispute, the Transport Department's primary concern is the maintenance of smooth and safe traffic circulation within the tunnel area.
