POSSIBILITIES TO IMPROVE ROAD TUNNEL SAFETY USING CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

Hristo G. Stamenov

The road tunnels in Bulgaria within the national road network are totally more than 7,000 meters long. With the intensive construction of motorways in recent years, their number and length respectively have been constantly increasing. All road tunnels in Bulgaria are of asphalt and concrete pavement.

The total length of road tunnels in Europe is over 15,000 km. Appreciating the benefits of concrete pavements, some European countries have recommended their use to increase safety in road tunnels.
