  "account": "CERN is set to undergo significant works at Gate B on its Meyrin site, between August 2026 and March 2027. These works will entail several periods of full and partial closure, necessitating traffic diversions and modified opening hours at other entrances. Phase 1, from August 3 to August 30, 2026, will not impact access. Phase 2, from August 31 to October 4, 2026, will see a full closure of Gate B and the Route Einstein junction. Phase 3, from October 5 to November 8, 2026, will also involve a full closure of Gate B. Phase 4, from November 11, 2026, to February 7, 2027, will feature a partial closure of Gate B, open solely for exit purposes.\n\nIn addition to these closures, Gate D will restrict access to buses and oversized vehicles from 7 am to 7 pm. During Phase 4, Gate B will remain open for exit only but will not allow access for vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists. Alternative site access arrangements will be in place, including changes to the bus stop and bicycle station locations. The inter-site tunnel will remain unchanged, accessible only to authorized users. Further updates and specific instructions will be provided as necessary.",
  "summary": "Works at Gate B will result in several periods of full and partial closure between August 2026 and March 2027. Traffic diversions and adjusted opening hours at other entrances to the Meyrin site will be introduced to ensure uninterrupted access to the site throughout the works. The works will be carried out in several phases. […]",
