Visit Blanka Tunnel
The biggest tunnel complex opens to the public for one day on 15th October.
Blanka Tunnel
Blanka Tunnel in Prague is without doubt the largest underground construction in the Czech Republic. This vast complex is being constructed as part of the North West part of the City Ring Road, whose length is 6382 m and will thus continue the already opened part of the ring road , which is approximately 17 km long with Zlíchovský, Mrázovka and Strahovský tunnels. When it has opened, it will be the longest tunnel in the Czech Republic and the longest city tunnel in Europe. It will also be the longest continuous mined tunnel in the CR, with the length of approximately 2.23 km.
