Plans in hand for new Slovakian tunnel construction

Work to complete the Kosice-Ruzomberok highway connection in Slovakia is now being planned. The remaining stretch still to be built is for the South-West Presov by-pass, with the most challenging section being the road tunnel at Presov, which will be 2km long. The construction work is commencing shortly and is expected to cost close to €370 million. The work is expected to take four years to complete. Slovakia’s national highway company NDS is at present evaluating which construction firm would be best placed to carry out the project.
