Social and cultural set up of the local residence will be affected. Disturbance in the natural stability of the soil. Effects on the crossing path ways of animals Friendship tunnel(also called Kohat tunnel) is Pakistan’s longest road tunnel and the second longest tunnel in the country over all. It is located between Kohat and Peshawar on 1264 kilometer long highway N55 (also called the Indus Highway). N55 provides a 410 kilometer shorter and an alternate route between Karachi and Peshawar as compared to N5 First feasibility study of Kohat tunnel was carried out in 1973. Later on siesmic survey was carried out by OGDC (Oil and Gas Development Corporation) in 1990, parallal to the current alignment of tunnel. A reanalysis of this survey was done in 1997. Official ground breaking of the construction work happened in February 2000 (reference 2 below) and the completed tunnel was opened for traffic on June 10, 2003. Location: The map to the left shows the location of Kohat tunnel with respect to the geography of the region. The tunnel has been dug in the hills consisting of lime stone dating as far back as Jurassic era. It is estimated that Kohat tunnel reduces the travel time between Peshawar and Kohat by 40 minutes. The distance between Peshawar and Kohat is also reduced by approximately 25 kilometers. Who Paid For the Tunnel: Kohat tunnel is built by the monetary and technical assistance from Japan therefore it was offically renamed as Pakistan-Japan Friendship Tunnel. Technical assistance for the tunnel also came from Malaysia. 100% funding for the tunnel was provided by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). This is the same forum which has been touted as the source for providing funding for the Lahore Rapid Mass Transit (LMRT) Rail System. Before Kohat tunnel project was started the amount of loan sanctioned by JBIC was Rs 6.626 billion. I still have to research what was the final amount the this project ended up costing (readers can help us here). The original loan is payable in 30 years with 10 years grace period at an annual interest rate of 2.3% The Ministry of communications is the sponsoring agency of the project while National Highway Authority (NHA) is the executing agency. Longest Tunnels of Pakistan Currently, and also for the past 117 years ( since 1891) Pakistan’s longest tunnel has been the 3.912 kilometer long Khojak Railway Tunnel. Kohat tunnel with 1.885 kilometer length is the longest road tunnel and 2nd overall longest tunnel of Pakistan to date. However, both Khojak Tunnel and Kohat Tunnel may lose their respective titles as early as 2009 when the longest tunnel in Pakistan, the 8.75 kilometer long Lowari tunnel is scheduled to be completed. ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ Please watch: "footage of the crime scene at the street of the "    • Видео   ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
