西山(shan)隧(sui)道(dao)(dao)是(shi)全國在建公路(lu)中最長(chang)(chang)的(de)(de)隧(sui)道(dao)(dao),建成(cheng)后將成(cheng)為繼秦嶺(ling)隧(sui)道(dao)(dao)后全國第二長(chang)(chang)隧(sui)道(dao)(dao),世界第四的(de)(de)特(te)長(chang)(chang)公路(lu)隧(sui)道(dao)(dao),該隧(sui)道(dao)(dao)于2012年10月主體(ti)貫通。整條(tiao)路(lu)全線(xian)橋隧(sui)相連比例高達71%。
西(xi)山隧道難掘,從先期(qi)的地質勘察就有所體(ti)現。2006年(nian),勘察人員開(kai)始工(gong)作,每隔50米,在西(xi)山鉆一個(ge)孔查看地質情況(kuang),最(zui)深700米,淺處也有150米。風吹日(ri)曬,荒野(ye)為路,整個(ge)勘察就耗時(shi)一年(nian)。
