Driskos Tunnel

From Underfoot




The Driskos Tunnel is a 4,570 metres (4.57 km) long twin-tunnel on the A2 motorway in northern Greece. Tunnel construction started in 1999 and finished in 2004. The two parallel tunnels were dug using the drill and blast method and designed for a 120 year life. The construction faced challenges, as it was built passing under the Mitsikeli mountain, containing sandstone.
