Legal challenge to Austria-Slovenia tunnel contract award

A legal challenge has now been launched against the tender award for the second tube for the Karawanks/Karavanke Tunnel project between Austria and Slovenia. The challenge has been launched by the two bidders that were unsuccessful for the project, Kolektor CPG and Euro-Asfalt. The 7.8km-long tunnel route runs under the Alpine Karawanks/Karavanke mountain range, connecting the Austrian Autobahn A11 from Villach with the A2 highway, running across the border to the Slovenian cities of Kranj and Ljubljana.
