ROAD TRIP / CLASSIC SWISS HIWAYS, TUNNELS IN WINTER WEATHER.


As of December 23, 2022 

Auto route should not be confused with the Gotthard Base Tunnel which was completed in 2016. The GBT is the longest railway tunnel in the world to date. Now back to Route A-2 for autos, trucks and buses. 

 Euro tour the North/South Gotthard Pass, the A-2 highway route of older Swiss freeways and roads and dozens of tunnels mostly in rainy weather; good image from front of a DiniK truck. Saint-Gotthard Automobile Tunnel (German Gotthard-Strassentunnel, Ital. Galleria stradale del San Gottardo is a tunnel in the Lepontine Alps (Switzerland) with a length of 16.9 km (10.5 miles). 

The height of the northern portal is 1080 m, the southern one is 1146 m above sea level. It connects 2 Swiss cantons: Uri in the north and Ticino in the south.
