New tunnel planned for Serbia

In Serbia plans are being drawn up for a new tunnel project. The planned route for the road tunnel would run under the mountain of Kadinjaca and connect the towns of Uzice and Bajina Basta. The plans are being drawn up by the Regional Development Agency Zlatibor, with tendering due for a feasibility study into the project. Funding looks set to be provided from European sources with some €176,000 to cover all the necessary project documentation and the paperwork should be ready by the end of 2016. The estima

The estimated cost of the project has not yet been revealed and neither has the timeline for its construction, including the estimated completion date. The project looks likely to include a number of technical challenges that will increase its overall cost.

The aim of the project would be to cut journey times between the two cities as the existing transport routes are prone to peak period congestion and delays at present. The route would connect either the M60 or M67 motorw

    May 2, 2012
    A preliminary study on the proposed tunnel connecting the islands of Malta and Gozo has been carried out by Mott Macdonald. Mott Macdonald’s preliminary analysis of the Malta-Gozo undersea road link suggests that it would take 5-7 years to build a tunnel between the two islands. This report suggests a cost of €156-€492 million for a single bore three-lane tunnel on the shortest practical alignment route. Potentially, the project could be co-financed by the EU under the Cohesion Fund if a road tunnel link be
