Abstract

In this paper is given a brief overview of the performed works on rehabilitation of the railway track in the tunnel “Sozina” in Montenegro, with the main goal of transferring of our engineering experience from this project to our colleagues engineers and investors. Reconstruction works in the longest railway tunnel in the Balkans, at night, in difficult working conditions, lasting only 4 hours and 30 minutes per day, are a special engineering challenge, and this paper gives an overview of the problems we encountered during the work. Works on the construction commenced in February 2017, and the completion of works is expected by the end of October 2017. The works are funded by the European Union in the form of donation.
