That .rar file contains video about tunnel Višňové, including visualisations and photos of construction of exploration tube. It's in Slovak, but you can enjoy at least pictures. It has more than 250 MB so it may take some time to download.

For those REALLY interested in the Slovak tunnels, the ones by which the government tunnels public money into its sponsors' pockets, here is a new article in Trend, one of the most respectful economical magazines in Slovakia.

The article is about a letter (page 1, page 2) that the government received from the European Commission in which the EC threatens to stop all EU co-funding of the Slovak highways infrastructure because of the Slovak environmental laws that limit individual freedom of its citizen in order to speed up highway construction (i.e., the government goes against its citizen to give more money faster to the Fico's sponsors from the construction industry).

There are many parallels between Fico's current government and the government of Mečiar from 1990's. As far as highways go, the parallel is in that Fico is again pushing the country to the brink of bankruptcy in order to quickly build extremely overpriced highways. But, since Fico will almost certainly continue to be PM for another 4 years, this time we will most probably see the consequences of this policy...

There was spent much more money in Czech Republic. not only two times more.

source ? you give me only a list which don´t compares cz/sk prices.

Toll (under 3.5 t) will be definitelly only on motorways and expressways

it´s all you can say ?....nothing about accessability of this ways ?

Nice try, but I doubt English "tunnel" has the same two meanings as Slovak "tunel." Anyway, this has nothing to do with real tunnels. EC just criticize law which is in contradiction with EIA directive and I think they are right. This law should be withdrawn as it's obviously wrong. EC threatens countries it will stop or limit funding quite often, but I don't think they will really do it if the government responds properly.

There's a list of motorway sections built before 1993 including their prices. I don't have enough time to provide you with detailed calculations which would only prove what's obvious. I'll be happy if it will be done by you though.

I don't understand this question. Maybe you should send me a PM and ask me again in Slovak. Such debate doesn't have much sense...

"NICE TRY" at a bullshit response. I really don't understand the forum contributors who have the need to respond to every single posting, even if they have nothing to say. Aren't you and the famous Dialničiar (famous, among other things, for using 20 different forum nicknames) by any chance the same person?

Be polite, please. This is English speaking forum. I'm affraid people here don't understand what are you trying to say about those tunnels. I can respond to whichever post I want, if you don't want people to reply on your posts then you should rather not post at all.
BTW, no, I'm not "Dialničiar," why do you think so? He is also replying on your posts?

[Qwert]

Southern bypass of Nitra.

and why ? who try to prove that czech motorways was 4 times expensive ? I think that´s only an excuse, czech "vysocina" is only hilly country, ...some bridges doesn ´t mean high prices...long bridges are near ozdany too, near poprad is short tunnel, but the price was low. what magnificent is on praha-brno motorway, gold crash barriers ?

I don't understand this question.

I don´t send you anything. you don't want to understand.

You are seriously saying that price per km of D1 Prague - Brno is comparable to motorways in Slovakia built before 1993 (which are all except one section in flat terrain)?

I said there will be toll for vehicles under 3.5 t only on motorways and expressway. You replied something about accessibility of some ways. What accessibility and what ways? What should I say about it. This doesn't make any sense.

Stay cool guys, why should you quarrel..
If you are comparing the Czech D1 in Vysočina region, it is logical that construction of this section was more expensive per km that Slovak D1 between Bratislava and Piešťany, because of the difficult terrain in Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, as had been already said, but not 4 times..
However I think that prices of the motorways were +- the same in both parts of the ex-federation.

Exactly like Dialničiar you respond to every single message, no matter whether you have anything to say or not. And, as shown by your message "ping-pong" with gmbh, identically to Dialničiar, you manage to keep responding over and over for hundreds of messages, even though you're just repeating yourself. That's why you end up having almost 7000 posts :-). Finally, Dialničiar is an employee of Granvia, one of companies that is profiteering from Fico's overpriced PPP constrution, and his opinions match yours exactly (and, he likes to change his nicknames on the dialnice.info forum). So, it really would not be surprising to me if Qwert on Skyscrapercity = Dialničiar.

Also, if you want others to be polite and to improve their English, please start with yourself. I don't have the time to correct all your mistakes, but just in this your post you have at least two mistakes: "affraid" and "reply on posts".
However, since most people here are non-native speakers, there's no point in mentioning every single misspelling. So, if you don't understand something I say, feel free to ask me. But, posting a message just because OTHERS MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND = posting bullshit.

General prices like let's say price for one square metre of asphalt were the same. I'm just saying division of funds for motorway construction between two parts of the federation wasn't 2:1 in favour of Czech Republic as it would be logic considering population, difference was bigger. I would say at least 3:1 maybe even 4:1. It was because in CZ majority of motorways was built in quite difficult terrain while in SK overwhelming majority in flat terrain. On the other hand, I don't say such division was totally wrong, traffic density in CZ was bigger and also Czech GDP was more than 2 times bigger, but it also wasn't fully equal.

@gmbh and @DrX

I really try hard to find a single reason, why are you posting all your babbling and yaping about slovak motorways in this international thread. Do you really think forumers from other countries are so excited about your long neverending stories, which I even don't understand?

If you want to contribute to this thread, one single picture from you will make much more sence and it'll makes all forumers here much more happier, then all the nonsence which you have said until now.

For all your opinions and ideas we have a thread in our Slovakian section. Please, go and feel free to express yourself over there.
Thanx

Well, I would like to be employee of Granvia, but I'm not.

I think I'm quite polite. As I've said above my English isn't perfect, but gmbh's is quite bad and sometimes I simply don't understand. Your is much better then his but, you cannot expect people who aren't native Slovak speakers to understand what "tunel" means in Slovak.

I understand what you meant and I totally agree with you!
And as you already said, the fund division for motorway construction was quite logical I think.

I've learned in CZ there is 399 cars per 1000 people while in SK 237 cars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...les_per_capita
Considering CZ has higher population density, it's obvious it has higher traffic density too. I would guess two times denser traffic. So SK is still quite good with it's motorway network, probably better than CZ.

but the most important is, how many inhabitans have motorway or expressway connection with capital city and western europe.

What accessibility and what ways?

financial accessibility of motor and expressways after introduction of toll system under 3,5 t for transit & local traffic.

Do you really think forumers from other countries are so excited about your long neverending stories, which I even don't understand?

and you are their spokesman, milanko ?

Actually, I found different numbers. According to Slovak assosiation of insurance companies (see http://www.skp.sk/?lng=eng&MODULE=7&SECTION=7), there were 2,024,000 cars insured in Slovakia in 2008. Compared to country population of 5,463,046 citizens it gives the ratio of 370 cars per 1000 citizens, which is comparable to Czech republic.

Hungarians buy and register a lot of cars in Slovakia for financial purposes (ahem,tax evasion).
