Testing Blast for the Tramway Tunnel in Brno

On Tuesday, February 9, a testing volume of explosive was blasted in Žabovřeská Street in Brno, to be used for the excavation of the tramway tunnel. The half-kilometer tube under the hill of Wilson Forest will be a part of the Great Brno Ring Road. A roughly one-kilometer-long section of the road will follow the Svratka River. Division 1 will start the excavation in April, and the whole construction should be completed in 2024.
