Lowari tunnel opening in 2010, says NHA

ISLAMABAD: Regarding the possibility to open the Lowari tunnel for the public soon after its completion this year, the National Highway Authority has issued the following statement:

We would like to take this opportunity to apprise the people of the actual status of the project and the timeframe of its formal opening.

The excavation work on the Lowari tunnel is expected to be completed this winter. However, once the excavation is completed, the tunnel will remain under close technical observation for a certain period of time in order to ensure that there is no deformation or overstressing in the rocks. Also, once the excavation is completed, a host of civil works involving movement of heavy machinery will need to be carried out inside the tunnel.

The tunnel has to be completed in all respects and declared absolutely safe by engineers before opening it for public use. At present, work is proceeding as planned and the tunnel is expected to formally open by the end of 2010.
