Karavanke tube breakthrough celebrated

Jesenice, 18 March - A formal ceremony marked the end of excavation works on the second tube of the Karavanke tunnel, a key border crossing with Austria in western Slovenia, on Monday. The new tube is to be completed by late next year, when it will take on all of the traffic for a multi-year renovation of the existing tube, built in 1991.
