Work is expected to start soon on Bosnia’s Hranjen Tunnel, part of the future Goražde-to-Sarajevo highway.
Gorazde Emir Okovic, head of the Podrinje Canton, told Bosnian media despite recent poor weather construction of the road is proceeding.
Cost of the six-kilometre double-tube tunnel will be around €92 million with phase one amounting to nearly €36 million.
The tunnel will cut the journey between the two towns from 95km to 56km and the time from 90 minutes to 45 minutes.
