Argentina and Chile plans Andean Tunnel

Argentina and Chile have finally launched a serious plan for the construction of a 14 kilometer long tunnel through the Andes.

The governments of the two South American nations have now agreed to work to make drilling a connection route at an altitude of 3800 to 4070 meters. The current border is at 4780 meters and reached via a dangerous road. The 'Agua Negra' tunnel will cost 1.3 billion euros and is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the continent. The contract starts ASAP.
