Roertunnel (original) (raw)
The Roertunnel is a 2.45 km long land tunnel in Roermond, Netherlands. Opening in 2008, it is one of the longest land tunnels for road traffic in the Netherlands. The tunnel is a part of the A73-south highway, connecting the A73-north in Venlo to the A2 near Echt. The tunnel consists of two main tubes, each containing two traffic lanes without shoulders. One tube contains northbound traffic, while the other contains southbound traffic. Additionally, there is a third tube between the two main tubes that functions as an emergency escape route. The maximum speed inside the tunnels is 100 km/h. Since the highway is directly in the path of urban and protected environmental areas in Roermond, the tunnel has been constructed to lead the traffic underneath East Roermond's urban area, the Roerdal e

| dbo:abstract | The Roertunnel is a 2.45 km long land tunnel in Roermond, Netherlands. Opening in 2008, it is one of the longest land tunnels for road traffic in the Netherlands. The tunnel is a part of the A73-south highway, connecting the A73-north in Venlo to the A2 near Echt. The tunnel consists of two main tubes, each containing two traffic lanes without shoulders. One tube contains northbound traffic, while the other contains southbound traffic. Additionally, there is a third tube between the two main tubes that functions as an emergency escape route. The maximum speed inside the tunnels is 100 km/h. Since the highway is directly in the path of urban and protected environmental areas in Roermond, the tunnel has been constructed to lead the traffic underneath East Roermond's urban area, the Roerdal environmental protected zone, and the Roer river. A little north of the Roertunnel, a sister tunnel, The Swalmentunnel, has been constructed according to the same construction principles. That tunnel measures 400m in length and leads underneath the urban area of Swalmen, a village in the municipality of Roermond. Once the tunnel is fully opened, one of the entry ramps in Roermond will have to be redesigned, because according to safety regulations the final entry on the highway must be 300m ahead of the tube of a tunnel, and the entry to the southbound tube in the Roertunnel ends only a few meters ahead of the tunnel. The plan is to redirect all highway traffic to the left lane before entering the tunnel, so that all traffic on the entry ramp can use the right lane for the complete length of the tunnel before merging with the rest of the traffic upon exit of the tunnel. (en) De Roertunnel is een landtunnel in de Rijksweg 73. De tunnel werd op 18 februari 2008 (gedeeltelijk) opengesteld voor verkeer. Het was met 2450 meter vanaf de opening in 2008 de langste landtunnel voor autoverkeer van Nederland, de sinds juli 2020 geopende Gaasperdammertunnel is met een lengte van 3 kilometer de langste landtunnel voor autoverkeer van Nederland (de Groene Harttunnel in de HSL-Zuid, voor treinen dus, is 7 km lang. De Westerscheldetunnel, wel voor autoverkeer, is 6,6 km lang maar dat is weer geen landtunnel). De Roertunnel bestaat uit twee tunnelbuizen, gescheiden door een vluchtgang. In de tunnel geldt een maximumsnelheid van 100 km/uur. De tunnelbuizen zijn voorzien van een op afstand bestuurbaar blussysteem. Sinds de opening van de tunnel hebben diverse veiligheidsafsluitingen plaatsgevonden. Daarnaast leiden noodafsluitingen af en toe tot files. (nl) |
