standrewac Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hello I know the duplex is open allowing me to go from A13 through to South of Paris, but is the single, taller (not 2m limit) tunnel open to achieve the same end? Or does it, in fact exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSV Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 No idea about a 'single'tunnel - they wouldn't build both would they?Info here about the duplex - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A86_autoroutehttp://tollroadsnews.com/news/french-low-ceiling-tunnelways-of-duplex-a86-comfortable-to-drive-not-claustrophic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standrewac Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi, reading the article you pointed me to, the last part reads""A second tunnelway for full height vehicles after the opening of the two level or duplex facility. The high vehicles tunnel will be the same diameter tube but a single level and one lane each direction. It will trend southwest� to join the A12 some miles west of the route of the duplex tunnel and be shorter in length (7.5km, 4.7mi) according to the plan.Cofiroute officials have taken to publishing maps of the project without the second full height vehicles tunnel being shown and they call the project "under study." With a single lane each direction and trucks it may never be built.So, there we have it. No chance, I suspect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
