Tenerife - New Erjos tunnel to complete the ring road

An overview of the new tunnel at Erjos that will complete the Tenerife ring road.
I also have a Maths and Science channel, which apart from some educational material for young students, includes interesting mathematical puzzles/diversions and explanations of Covid related terminology such as exponential growth herd immunity etc. Please head over to have a look with this link. It’s called Maths and Science Explained

Great video. Only place I was able to observe the north side of the tunnel.
Thanks

[@CanariesExplorer]

It was difficult to find the north side but I located it on a detailed map and the drone found it from the air! Beautiful scenery in that area.

[@tazzatamania]

I know there's an airport in the North but are there any plans to upgrade it to encourage tourism in the North of the island?

[@MountainFisher]

Been enjoying your videos. Quite revealing and educational about the Canary Islands I knew little about besides having some telescopes I'm interested in.

[@CanariesExplorer]

Yes, the Canaries are very diverse, interesting and offer something for all tastes. I will be doing a video soon on comparing the islands to let viewers decide which is best for them.

The cyclists can have the old road 😅

[@nigelhodgkins7166]

Good video but not actually true. This section won't complete the ring road. As you say it will join up with the ring road at El Tanque but that only goes as far as Las Longueras. From there it is 12kms of single carriageway until it picks up the ring road again on the edge of Puerto de la Cruz. This section is still in the planning stage so given the 8 year delay so far I'll be surprised if it's completed before 2030.

[@CanariesExplorer]

Fair point but I did say that there is a single carriageway until the motorway. However, the slowest and most tedious section in the route will be avoided. The single carriageway section is fast moving and having a dual carriageway would probably only save another 5 mins. In that sense, it is like completing the ring road - ring roads aren't alway dual carriageway in many countries!

No one local wants the final section as its fast and no hold ups and it will ruin the coast - still waiting for my by pass in england since 1982 so tenerife is much more advanced then the foggy island

[@nigelhodgkins7166]

@@paulnovak3864 You're probably right about it ruining the landscape. The plans I've seen show it passing less than a mile from my house with multiple tunnels and bridges so will probably be prohibitively expensive.

[@barrypickles6546]

It will probably ruin Santiagos thriving little stop off industry. I can't see it ruining the coast, from the video it looks like it is exiting far above el Tanque and will run down to the high section above San Juan and gerrachio. It is possibly the most impressive road tunnel I have heard about, imagine when the lava starts seeping in.
