Frejus Tunnel

The Frejus road tunnel is located between Modane (Savoie-France) and Bardonecchia (Piedmont-Italy), along the Lyon-Turin axis.
The work currently consists of a two-way bore, with one lane in each direction.
Works:

• 2 external ventilation stations A and D (1 for each tunnel entrance)
• 2 underground ventilation stations B and C, each associated with an air shaft (1/3 and 2/3 of the tunnel, respectively)
• 20 electric stations, one in front of the other about every 1,450 mt
• 1 technical station for each service area (ST01-23 French side and ST01-24 Italian side)
• 1 technical station for each compartment (ST01-27 French side; ST01-28 Italian side)
• 101 SOS niches facing each other about every 265 mt.

Activities associated with the implementation of the second hole:

• Station D was entirely demolished and rebuilt during civil works;
• During civil works, 2 new underground ventilation stations E and F were also built;
• New technical stations common to the two holes;
• 9 by-pass between the two holes;
• 34 new branches between the two soundings, associated with technical spaces made during civil works.
