太古(gu)高(gao)(gao)速公(gong)(gong)路(lu)西山隧道群總長(chang)15公(gong)(gong)里(li),其中,西山特長(chang)隧道長(chang)13.6公(gong)(gong)里(li),西山2號隧道長(chang)1.4公(gong)(gong)里(li),兩(liang)隧道進出口最(zui)小距離180米,這使得太古(gu)高(gao)(gao)速公(gong)(gong)路(lu)工(gong)(gong)程(cheng)成為(wei)交(jiao)通運輸(shu)部首批風(feng)險(xian)評估試點工(gong)(gong)程(cheng),全國在建公(gong)(gong)路(lu)中公(gong)(gong)認施(shi)工(gong)(gong)難度第一。
西山隧(sui)(sui)(sui)道(dao)(dao)是全(quan)國在(zai)建公(gong)路中最(zui)長(chang)的隧(sui)(sui)(sui)道(dao)(dao),建成(cheng)后將成(cheng)為繼秦(qin)嶺隧(sui)(sui)(sui)道(dao)(dao)后全(quan)國第二長(chang)隧(sui)(sui)(sui)道(dao)(dao),世界(jie)第四的特長(chang)公(gong)路隧(sui)(sui)(sui)道(dao)(dao),該(gai)隧(sui)(sui)(sui)道(dao)(dao)于(yu)2012年(nian)10月主體貫(guan)通。整(zheng)條路全(quan)線橋隧(sui)(sui)(sui)相連比例高達71%。
西(xi)山(shan)(shan)隧道難掘,從先期的地質勘察就有所體現。2006年,勘察人員開(kai)始工作(zuo),每隔50米(mi),在西(xi)山(shan)(shan)鉆一(yi)個孔(kong)查看地質情況,最深700米(mi),淺處也有150米(mi)。風(feng)吹日曬,荒野(ye)為(wei)路,整個勘察就耗時(shi)一(yi)年。
