Third tunnel was considered in the 1970's and later approved for construction, the boring work on the tunnel began on May 26, 1979 and the project was expected to be completed in 1983. The tunnel was meant to house multiple hydroelectric power plants, built by Hammer Valley Hydro, and would be 7,2 km long, running from Ilanka to the Freshwater Tunnel No.1, however due to bankruptcy of the Bergmann Group in mid-February of 1980, only a small portion of the tunnel was completed.
