Tunneling the Ring Road: One Billion, Many Questions

Answer

What should Mallorca consider before building a tunnel under Palma’s ring road?

Before any decision, Mallorca would need a public feasibility study, transparent cost estimates and a realistic construction plan. The project would also need to account for drainage, air quality, safety systems and the traffic disruption that would last during the works. Social measures matter too, because affected neighbourhoods would need better crossings, schools access and protection from displacement.
