Van Schaïk-tunnel (Tunnel NEKAMI)
|
In 1916, the "Kalkmergelmaatschappij St-Pietersberg" (Limestone Company St-Pietersberg) started excavating limestone on the west side of Sint-Pietersberg in Maastricht (NL). Initially, transport to the Maastricht-Liège canal at the east side took place via a funicular.
In 1928, the company obtained a permit to construct a mountain tunnel through Sint-Pietersberg for the transport of limestone. In that year, construction began according to the design of D.C. van Schaïk. Picture shows the entrance at the east side of the tunnel.
