Las Raíces Tunnel, Road tunnel in Chile

Las Raíces Tunnel is a transportation tunnel in Chile that connects two mountain regions underground. The structure passes through the Andes and serves as a major transport corridor linking different areas of the country.

The tunnel was built to solve the challenging mountain crossing between two regions of the country. Its completion transformed how these areas connected with the rest of the nation.

Driving through the tunnel is usually quick and straightforward for all types of vehicles. Drivers should keep their headlights on and maintain steady speed to pass through safely.
