Visit www.enteanas.it and www.sandvik.com 34/01.The feasibility study of the 11.6 km bypass for highway A22 in Bolzano proposes 7 km of bored tunnels and 1,090 m in cut-and-cover. Beyond road SS 12 road, the alignment follows a first tunnel, 1,655 m in length, to resurface in Val d'Ega and carry on in viaduct prior to crossing Colle dei Signori through a nearly 5.5 km tunnel and resurfacing south of the San Giacomo airport. It is not determined yet if the tunnels would be single tubes or double bores.
