Slovenia: Karavanke tunnel construction is suspended over coronavirus concerns
According to Slovenia media reports, Turkish company Cengiz has suspended the construction of the second tube of Karavanke tunnel. This decision has bee taken due to the coronavirus concerns.
After 2 tenders, appeals, cancellations, re-negotiations and almost 2 years passed, finally Cengiz was awarded with the Euro 120m contract to build the second tube of the Karavanke tunnel and around 2 months ago a contract had been signed between DARS (Slovenian Road Company) and Cengiz.
The #coronavirus epidemic and the ensuing restrictive measures have slowed down work on major infrastructural projects in #Slovenia. Work on the second tube of the Karavanke motorway tunnel is down to a minimum and the intensity of work on the new railway serving the port of Koper has been reduced.
