Reception keeps saying roads reopen after the Perahera without a clock. We need to move bags to a different hotel. Anyone seeing junctions open yet, or still fully held.

While the official stream is still live, assume main loop stays held. Reopen waves come after the cortege clears each segment.

Ask reception for a walking porter option. Waiting for a van through the tape can burn an hour.

No public wrap article yet - so no official all-clear clock. Watch your junction, not the news homepage.
