Bosnia bore complete

The contractor driving the 2.1km tunnel on Bosnia’s Gacko-Foca highway has completed the necessary excavation work and is now starting on finishing the lining of the bore. This tunnel is due to open to traffic in late 2012 and some of the €37 million financing for this work has come from the government of the autonomous entity Republika Srpska. The tunnel is one of two on the route, which also features two bridges and a viaduct. Bosnian contractor Integral Inzinjering has been working on the tunnel.
