Apart from the tunnel, bridges and viaducts, Lot 3 includes the design and construction of more than 23km of a double-lane highway, two interchanges at Valeni and Cornetu, 18km of consolidation works, building of a maintenance and control centre, and work to protect the environment.

This lot will cut down traffic congestion between Cornetu and Tigveni by providing an alternative route to national roads.
