The Panagopoula Tunnel (Greek: Σήραγγα Παναγοπούλας) is a tunnel under construction on the Corinth-Patras section of the Olympia Odos motorway. Works began in 2008 along with the whole motorway, but they were halted in 2011. They were again resumed in early 2014. It will be the longest road tunnel of the whole motorway and one of the longest in Greece. It will be opened to traffic in March 2017, along with the rest of the motorway.
