The new Beskydy tunnel passes through the mountains between the towns of Beskid and Skotarske and connects the Ukrainian rail network with Europe's Corridor V, thus linking the city of Lviv in western Ukraine to cities such as Venice and Trieste in northern Italy, as well as various other locations along the route in Slovenia and Hungary. The new tunnel is expected to handle nearly 60% of all rail traffic travelling between Ukraine and the European Union."Ukraine launches Beskyd railway tunnel." railway-technology.com, 25 May 2018.
