A contract has been signed to build what will be Poland’s longest tunnel, stretching almost 3.8 km (2.4 miles) through part of the Western Beskids mountains in the south of the country.
Once complete, the tunnel and related rail modernisation will cut the train journey time between Kraków, Poland’s second-largest city, and Nowy Sącz, a major regional city of 83,000 people, by around two thirds.
The broader investment programme it is part of, which is financed by the EU’s post-pandemic recovery fund, will also slash travel times between Kraków and the mountain resort town of Zakopane.
You’d figure Dublin would have taller buildings by now…
