    Hiking

    In the course of the new construction of the L418, a southern bypass of the city of Wuppertal, the Burgholz tunnel was opened to traffic on March 29, 2006.

    The tunnel with two tunnel tubes is the core of the construction work and with a length of 1.8 km it is the longest tunnel in North Rhine-Westphalia.

    Each tunnel tube has two lanes, each 3.50 m wide, and a hard shoulder. The route overcomes a height difference of 80 meters.
    3,600 blasts were necessary to create the tunnel, 300,000 cubic meters of earth and rock had to be removed.
