The Višňové highway Tunnel built by Skanska will not be operational in 2023 as planned, due to problems, reports The Slovak Spectator.

The construction of the 13.5-kilometer section between Lietavská Lúčka – Višňové – Dubná Skala, including a 7.5-kilometer-long tunnel and seven bridges, is financed by the European Regional Development Fund, OP Integrated Infrastructure 2014-2020 and the state budget.
