  • At the Baltic Sea construction of the world's longest underwater rail and road tunnel is underway. The 18-kilometer passageway, due to be completed in 2029, will link Denmark and Germany. The €10 billion project crosses a stretch of the Baltic Sea known as the Fehmarn Belt and will have two double-lane motorways and two electrified rail tracks. The entire tunnel will be built using pre-fab concrete elements.
    Right now it's not much more than Europe's largest construction site on the coast of Denmark, 2000 workers are busy preparing for the tunnel. It will consist of pre-fab sections, currently undergoing testing. The pre-fab segments the tunnel will be built from will later allow for two tracks for trains and two roadways for cars and other vehicles. Each one is over 200 meters long and 42 meters wide. The segments will be built on land, lowered into the sea and connected at a depth of 30 meters.

    Although this is a huge and expensive project, it will save both the environment and economy in the long run. Saving longer transports through Jutland, or more polluting transportation by ship. Denmark chose to finance the more expensive, but also more environmentally friendly solution of a tunnel instead of a bridge. Ensuring this will absolutely be a win win in the long run.

      there's the slight caveat that the immense quantities of concrete will set a truly immense carbon footprint themselves - the actual carbon reduction will be very little in total, kf it won't in fact encourage so much traffic that it will end up making a bigger carbon footprint than if it had just been kept as a ferry line 😅

      Ferry lines cannot pull nearly comparable traffic to what the tunnel will. The huge advantage will be from rerouting traffic that currently goes through Jutland and the Great Belt connection, more than what is saved on the very polluting ferries.

      That comment doesn't really make sense at this phase of the tunnel project (actually projects) in my view. Whether there will be funding or not, we will find out later, but there certainly is some interest. If there weren't any interest and potential final funding, millions wouldn't already have been spent to preliminary studies by different actors (officials in both countries, the EU and private companies). The only thing we can say for sure is that nobody knows yet whether the tunnel will be built or not.

    It's Denmark only building the tunnel, Germany is not involved. It's all Danish money. Germany is responsible for the connection on German soil. The map showing the route today and in the future, is misleading. The island of Als/Alsen/Alsia is not part of the existing route.

    Just make something clear. Germany is not building the worlds longest underwater rail and road tunnel.
    It will be completely built and run by Denmark, and is paid by Denmark and a little bit of EU.
    All Germany is doing is the connecting infrastructure on the German side.
    Germany opted out of the partnership after stalling the project for 15 years.
    Though many German Nationals have migrated to Denmark to work on the project, since it is better paid than most German construction work, due to the higher wages in Denmark.

    The legal side he mentioned is not really similar in Germany and Denmark.
    In Denmark you can bring a case/objection to the court system. When a verdict is cast, it normally makes it final. Unless something new is discovered and submitted to the court, there is no way to change the verdict, or delay the project.
    In Germany each and every interest group can bring the case to the German court system, and they often have to be heard individually. So while there were less than a handfull of court cases in Denmark, there were thousands of complaints submitted to the German court system. A large part of those supported by the greedy ferry companie not wanting the competion of the tunnel. The Ferry company even paid for "protestors" to demonstrate against the project.
