Blanka Tunnel may see further delays

The opening of Prague’s Blanka Tunnel, slated for April, faces further delays as cables destroyed by water will have to be replaced, an undisclosed source has told the Czech News Agency. The leadership at City Hall is to discuss the matter this week, according to ČTK.The electric cables were damaged by heavy rainfall last year and by dampness within the tunnel. Security and safety tests also remain to be conducted, the news agency said, which could further push back the grand opening. The tunnel cost Prague almost 37 billion crowns.
