In the Czech Republic, it was planned to build the highest tunnel in Europe. Presumptive location of the building will be Trebic-Borovin. The length of the tunnel will be 300 meters, and the height - 9.3 meters. It is expected that the construction of the structure will take place in the framework of the project to build a huge bypass road. The latter should become part of the route necessary for transportation of dimensional cargoes in order to build the next block of the high-tech nuclear power plant "Dukovany". The construction of the new tunnel was planned to be completed until 2029. The government allocated funds for the preparatory work in 2017. As a designer, one of the well-known Czech companies. Recently, a representative of the transport department of the administration of the future location of the tunnel told that earlier various options for transportation of dimensional cargo, including the railway or air traffic. It was taken into account that the mass of cargo can exceed 500 tons at any moment. Because of this, the method of transporting the overall products along the highway. The main requirement was the parameters of the road space. Specialist explained that the width should be at least 9 meters. Similar parameters should be in the tunnel for achieving positive results. Experts are sure that the most likely option for transportation of overall equipment for the fifth power plant unit will be transportation by sea, and then to Colin along the Elbe. From Jihlava the cargo will be transported directly to Dukovany, where the nuclear power plant is located.
