A referendum will be held on  28.02.2016 for Swiss citizens will make a decision about the federal government proposal to build a second tube for the Gotthard road tunnel under the Alps before renovating the existing facility. The value of the project is EUR2.59 billion(CHF2.8 billion). Once a second tube is completed, the existing road tunnel, opened in 1980, would be closed to traffic for renovations, but the traffic flow will not interrupted. After that is finished by around 2030, the two tubes would each carry only one lane of traffic in each direction.
