Travelling back from Lake Orta area in N Italy, we travelled to the Simplon Pass to reach our first overnight stop in Sion.
Imagine our delight to find that a landslide has closed the pass "for the foreseeable future"
There is the car train service to/from Brig that bypasses the blockage, (we used it), but service is limited in capacity and you could wait a few hours to get on it.
Alternatives are basically Gotthard Tunnel (our chosen one) or Mont Blanc Tunnel.
Good luck planning your route down this Summer
