No More Deadlocks in Tunnels Mala Kapela and Sveti Rok
All visitors travelling along the motorway A1 need no longer fear
deadlocks at the tunnels of Mala Kapela and Sveti Rok. At the beginning
of April, a new lane was opened for traffic in each of these
two longest Croatian tunnels, enabling two-lane traffic in both directions
and greatly contributing to a better traffic flow.
The existing lanes have been temporarily closed so they can be
adapted for one-way traffic and the ventilation system can be brought
up to date. Two-lane traffic in both directions will be set up by
the time the season begins.
After the adaptation, the speed limit will be 100 kilometres per
hour (now it is 80 km/h). Both tunnels at the Sveti Rok tunnel are
connected by four safety passages for cars and 15 safety passages
for pedestrians. The Mala Kapela tunnel will feature six car
passages and 14 pedestrian ones.
