Construction work for Colombia’s Tunel de la Linea project has recommenced. The national road institute (Invias) has said that strict biosecurity protocols are now in place in response to coronavirus to maximise safety for personnel.
At present engineers are installing the electromechanical equipment for the tunnel and this portion of the project is 60% complete. The tunnel had been due for completion on 29th May 2020. However its opening is being delayed once more.
The Tunel de la Linea (La Linea Tunnel) project has been delayed several times and due to a number of reasons.
Once the tunnel is complete, it will provide an important transport link. It will replace a treacherous mountain pass, noted for a number of sharp curves that has poor safety and particularly in bad weather.
