Fréjus Tunnel (English)

Japanese: フレジュス・トンネル(英語表記)Tunnel de Fréjus
Fréjus Tunnel (English)
This long road tunnel is located on the international highway connecting the city of Lyon in central France and the city of Turin in northwest Italy, and passes through the Alps on the border. Construction began in 1974 and was completed in 1980. It is the third longest road tunnel in the world (as of 1997), with a length of 12,901 m, and passes from Modane on the French side to Bardonecchia on the Italian side. Before the tunnel was completed, the road crossed the mountain pass at Mont Cenis (2,100 m above sea level), and was impassable in winter due to snow. With the completion of the tunnel, high-speed automobile traffic was now available year-round between the Rhône River basin in France, one of the economic centers of both countries, and the Po River basin in Italy.

フランス中部の都市リヨンとイタリア北西部の都市トリノを結ぶ国際道路上にあって,国境のアルプス山脈を貫く長大道路トンネル。1974年に着工,80年に完成,延長は道路トンネルとしては世界第3位(1997現在)の1万2901mで,フランス側のモダーヌからイタリア側のバードネッキアに抜けている。このトンネル完成前は,モン・スニ峠(標高2100m)を通る山越え道路で,冬季は積雪のため通行不能であった。トンネルの完成により,両国にとって経済の中心地の一つであるフランスのローヌ川流域と,イタリアのポー川流域間が年間を通じて高速自動車交通で結ばれるようになった。
