Tekkebak Tunnel (Template:Lang-tr), is a highway tunnel constructed in Ordu Province, northern Turkey.[1]
Tekkebak Tunnel is part of the Samsun-Ordu Highway D.010 E70 within the Black Sea Coastal Highway, of which construction was carried out by the Turkish Nurol-Tekfen-Yüksel joint venture.[1] The 170 and 135 m (558 and 443 ft)-long twin-tube tunnel carrying two lanes of traffic in each direction is flanked by 261–257 m (856–843 ft)-long Kozbükü Tunnel in the west and 3,805–3,825 m (12,484–12,549 ft)-long Ordu Nefise Akçelik Tunnel in the east on the same highway.[2]
The tunnel was opened to traffic on 7 April 2007 by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[2] Dangerous goods carriers are not permitted to use the tunnel.[3]
