Mosi Tunnel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mosi Tunnel is a motorway tunnel in Switzerland which opened in 1964. It is situated on the A4 and also the main part of the bypass of Brunnen SZ which leads between Brunnen North and Brunnen South. The two lane tunnel (one lane for each direction) is 1100 metres long and links the motorway A4 with the Axenstrasse. It is the longest road tunnel in the Canton of Schwyz and will be until the Morschacher Tunnel opens between Brunnen North and Sisikon. Then the Mositunnel will lose its status as a motorway tunnel and will “only” be a main street tunnel.

Three dramatic crashes in 13 months and subpar results from an international tunnel test[1] started many discussions about the security of the tunnel in 2007. A service tunnel was completed in 2016.[2][3] Some drivers say that their windshield fogs up at the entrance to the north end of the tunnel.
