Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico rollerskated through the newly completed Visnove tunnel on Monday, celebrating the end of a nearly 30-year infrastructure saga. "I didn't want to miss this opportunity to go through the whole tunnel on roller skates," Fico said before the official opening. The 7.5-kilometre tunnel—now Slovakia's longest—completes a crucial link on the D1 highway between Bratislava and Kosice. It's expected to divert over 80% of traffic from a congested, accident-prone route. But the project has faced fierce criticism for cost overruns and delays. Plans began in 1990, construction started in 2014 with a 2019 deadline, was halted after contract termination, and finally resumed in 2021. #Slovakia #Infrastructure #RobertFico #Zilina #Europe #News
