On the Corridor Vc section in Herzegovina, the breakthrough of the Kvanj Tunnel has begun, one of the most important structures on this highway route through Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).
The subsection Tunnel Kvanj – Buna is 5.10 kilometers long and is part of the Mostar South – Buna section.
The Kvanj Tunnel is designed as a twin-tube tunnel – the right tunnel tube is 2.645 meters long, and the left 2.720 meters.
