The project including driving and securing the cycle tunnel, establishing cuttings, portals and blasting/filling for open air roads and works in the southbound lane of the Auglends Tunnel. The contract has 3 alternatives for the works in the southbound lane of the Auglends Tunnel, but only 1 of the alternatives will be implemented.
Alternative 1 is back ripping, securing and replacement of arches in the southbound lane of the Auglends Tunnel. Alternative 2 is back ripping, securing, expansion with 1 driving lane and new arch in the southbound lane of the Auglends Tunnel. It will be expanded as far as is possible toward the existing portals. Alternative 3 is like Alternative 2 with an addition to complete back ripping/securing jobs for 3 driving lanes and build new T14 portals for the southbound lanes. The cycle tunnel is approx. 380 metres long and will be delivered with portals, permanent securing and interim road superstructure and is the same in all alternatives. The cycle tunnel will function as a bypass road when the water and frost protection works are implemented in the Auglends Tunnel.
