Local media in Dili is reporting that plans are underway for the construction of a tunnel linking Timor-Leste with Australia. This is Timor-Leste’s second mega-project, coming hot on the heels of the $375-million power plants that are being built at the moment.
A tender was held last month calling for companies to submit proposals for the 550-kilometer tunnel that will be built beneath the Timor Sea. Of the 25 companies that submitted proposals, the government whittled them down to just one. China’s Energy and Tunnels Construction Company won the bid and work on the billion-dollar project will begin some time in June.
