A new highway and railway line is being constructed at a rapid pace for the 2014 Sochi Olympics. The right-of-way will include both surface-level sections and several tunnels. Seventy seven facilities will be built along the 55-km route which runs along the Mzymta River. New German tunnel-boring equipment will be used in constructing a nearly 3-km railway tunnel with a diameter of 10.6 meters. The new boring machines will provide for fast, efficient construction.
