The Khor Al Zubair Immersed Tunnel project in Basra, Iraq, is a significant infrastructure initiative aimed at enhancing transportation connectivity and stimulating economic development in the region. The tunnel will span 2.5 kilometres and feature six lanes, with a dedicated emergency lane, making it one of the largest immersed tunnels in the Middle East. It is part of the Al Faw Grand Port project, which includes the construction of one of the world's largest container terminals.
The project is expected to facilitate seamless transportation and bolster economic growth in Southern Iraq, linking the region with international roads and enhancing maritime navigation. The construction involves advanced techniques, including the use of specialized sealing systems and monitoring systems to ensure the project's success. This project is crucial for improving connectivity and economic development in the southern region of Iraq.
A company spokesman comments:
"This project involves constructing an immersed tunnel beneath the Khor Al Zubair waterway, serving as a critical link between adjacent areas and enhancing accessibility for both passengers and goods."
The Khor Al Zubair Immersed Tunnel project in Iraq is currently in progress, with the first section of the tunnel having been successfully installed. As recently as December 2025, the project has reached a completion rate of 80%, and the tunnel is expected to significantly enhance maritime navigation in Iraq. The project is a major engineering achievement and is part of Iraq's broader infrastructure development efforts.
