I'll be starting the Via Tolosana in late August and am wondering if there are any important updates/changes/etc.

Thanks in advance

Someone commented earlier this year somewhere that between Borce and Urdos (one stage before the Col de Somport) the route is blocked to walkers because of road construction, and that you need to take a bus from Etsaut to Urdos, a distance of about 5 kilometers.

I took the bus from Accous to Urdos- easy and much safer!

The road works will be there for a while - they are improving safety for walkers and cyclists.
I took the bus from Bedous to Urdos, and walked to the Col from there. Bedous to the Col is a very long walk for one day in any case.
However, a couple of pilgrims walked Bedous to the Col on the road, and reported that they never felt in danger.
