VENTILATING THE LECCO-COLICO HIGHWAY TUNNELS

A strategy for ventilating several tunnels that are in very close proximity is being implemented for a dual carriageway which narrows to form a long bottle-neck in a holiday resort area of Italy. Specifications for designing ventilation systems for 20 of the 38 tunnels in question, taking into consideration comfort, safety, lighting, road signs and traffic density, are presented.
