Vrmac Tunnel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vrmac Tunnel (Serbian/Montenegrin Cyrillic: Тунел Врмац) is a vehicular tunnel in southern Montenegro.
The tunnel, which is 1,637 m long, connects town of Kotor with Adriatic Motorway and the rest of Montenegro. It passes under the Mount Vrmac, thus eliminating the need to via the old curvy road that passes over the mount.
The tunnel was half-finised in 1991, but was then open to the public use, because of the lack of fundings to finish it. In 2004 works had begun to finish the tunnel, and bring it up to European standards. The construction works, done by Austrian company Strabag, should be finished in 2007.
