Slovakia Plans Road Widening Through Soroška Pass as Tunnel Project Remains Stalled After 30 Years
Share:
The Slovak Road Administration is preparing to widen the road through Soroška Pass, a key transportation route connecting central and southern Slovakia. The widening project comes as residents of the Gemer region in southern Slovakia continue waiting for a tunnel through the pass that has been promised for three decades. The Soroška Pass serves as a crucial link between different regions of Slovakia, but the challenging mountain terrain has long posed transportation difficulties. While the road widening may provide some relief for traffic congestion and safety concerns, the more ambitious tunnel project that would provide a permanent solution to the area's transportation challenges remains indefinitely delayed.
