Jesenice, 9 March - Work on the second tube of the Karavanke Tunnel on the border with Austria is on schedule. Turkish Cengiz workers have already bored some 550 metres of what is a roughly 3.5-km tube on the Slovenian side. No major problems have been encountered since boring started last August and is expected to be completed in two years.
