Aktualne.cz: UNESCO concerned about Prague tunnel

The UNESCO agency is concerned that a tunnel complex which is being constructed in Prague might harm the city’s historic centre, the news website aktualne.cz reported on Sunday. The agency will therefore send a mission to the Czech capital to examine the situation on the spot. The Blanka tunnel, which is to form part of a planned ring road around the city, runs only a few hundred metres from the protected area of Prague Castle. City officials said the tunnel will not damage any of the capital’s historic monuments.
