I've heard it's open with restrictions, officially being opened now on the 14th, EU officials to be present.

I drove up to Fiskardo today, but the road didn't seem to be open.  Taxi drivers and coaches were still using the diverted route.

Couple of contacts reckon there's construction traffic going across but that's about all - though they're down South and don't actually seem that interested (or surprised about progress).
