The Škofja Loka tunnel, the longest on the second track, celebrated its third anniversary recently. For three years, residents of Škofja Loka and Plave have been engaged in a dispute, asserting that over a year of blasting beneath their homes has caused significant disruption. “It’s like a bomb,” recounts local resident Nevenka Berce, “it wakes you up, makes a rumble… at two, at four, at six.”
This prolonged disturbance has undeniably impacted the community, as she demonstrates with the visible damage to her property, evident both externally and internally.
The damage originated during the construction of the T8 tunnel, and has unfortunately extended considerably. However, authorities maintain that this is unrelated to the tunnel’s construction. Nevenka Berce highlights the cracked walls, showcasing the extent of the problem.
Through one particular crack, moisture has infiltrated the house, a phenomenon unseen for the past forty years, according to her spouse’s testimony. “It’s just like ‘buttoned up’ that moisture,” they explain, “but it’s not due to the tunnel.” They attribute the issue solely to weather conditions.
