History
In late 1961, work began on the Karangkates Dam for electricity generation, flood management, and irrigation purposes. The dam's reservoir area was planned to inundate the railway line between Sumberpucung and Pogajih. Therefore, the government had to relocate the railway line to the north of the dam. This new line required two railway tunnels, one of which was the Karangkates II railway tunnel.[3]
Tunnel construction began in February 1965, starting with the Karangkates I railway tunnel. However, due to cost constraints, the project was halted and only resumed in 1967. The relocation of the railway line and its two tunnels was inaugurated by the Minister of Public Works and Electricity and the Minister of Transportation on 1 April 1970.
