"I didn't want to miss this opportunity to go through the whole tunnel on roller skates," Fico said before the official opening. The 7.5-kilometer tunnel – now Slovakia's longest – completes a crucial link on the D1 highway between Bratislava and Kosice. It's expected to divert over 80 percent of traffic from a congested, accident-prone route. However, the project has faced fierce criticism for cost overruns and delays. Plans began in 1990, construction started in 2014 with a 2019 deadline, was halted after contract termination, and finally resumed in 2021. #slovakia #infrastructure For more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2025-12-24/Slovak-PM-celebrates-long-delayed-tunnel-opening-on-rollerblades-1JmvB1gXTCE/p.html Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://goo.gl/lP12gA Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:28:10 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/e2f54f5a-3227-497e-9e03-3f9bcad37571 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
