Sankt‐Gotthard‐Strassentunnel

Japanese: ザンクト・ゴットハルト・トンネル(英語表記)Sankt‐Gotthard‐Strassentunnel
Sankt‐Gotthard‐Strassentunnel
This road tunnel runs through the St. Gotthard Pass near the border between Switzerland and Italy. The St. Gotthard Pass, at an altitude of about 2,100m, is a traffic chokepoint that is closed for six months in winter, so until now, cars were transported by loading them onto freight cars through a railway tunnel completed in 1882. However, as it could no longer cope with the increasing traffic volume, a new tunnel was built, the St. Gotthard Tunnel (Saint Gothard Tunnel), which began construction in 1969 and was completed in September 1980.

スイスとイタリアの国境近くにあるザンクト・ゴットハルト峠を貫く道路トンネル。標高約2100mのザンクト・ゴットハルト峠は冬季6ヵ月にわたって使用不能となる交通の難所であり,これまでは1882年に完成した鉄道トンネルを利用し,自動車を貨車に積み込んで輸送していた。しかし,増大する交通量に対応しきれなくなったため,新たに建設されたのがザンクト・ゴットハルト・トンネル(サン・ゴタール・トンネル)で,1969年に着工,80年9月に完成した。
