CONSTRUCTION OF VIJENAC TUNNEL
Euro-Asfalt Ltd. and the FBiH Motorways signed an agreement in April on the continuation of construction works on the Vijenac tunnel. The tunnel is part of the 5c Corridor motorway, section Drivuša-Kakanj, subsection Gorica-Bilješevo. A consortium from Bosnia and Herzegovina, consisting of Euro-Asfalt, ŽGP and Hidrogradnja, together with the Slovenian company Primorje, will be in charge of the tunnel construction.
The deadline for completion of the project is 33 months. The total length of the twin-tube tunnel is 5.88 kilometres; the left tube is 2.96 kilometres long, and the right tube 2.92 kilometres. The first stage of the construction will consist of excavation and securing of the approach cutting, building of the portal, and excavations of the tunnel’s top heading.
