The '''Ejpovice tunnel''' (Czech: Ejpovický tunel) is a two-tube railway tunnel in the Czech Republic on the [[Praha–Plzeň railway line]]. It is located at [[Ejpovice]] and therefore bears its name. Since its commissioning in 2018, it has been the longest railway tunnel in the country.<ref name="RadioPragInternational">Till Janzer: [https://ift.tt/2tETIyp ''Längster Eisenbahntunnel Tschechiens eröffnet''], Meldung auf Radio Prag International vom 16. November 2018</ref> It shortens the journey between the cities of [[Plzeň]] and [[Rokycany]] from 20 to 11 minutes previously. The tunnel is designed for 200 km / h, but the maximum speed is limited to 160 km / h.

When building the two tubes, a tunnel boring machine from the manufacturer Herrenknecht was used, with which up to 182 meters were driven per week. The equivalent of 260 million euros was invested in the construction.
