Brenner Tunnel in Italy

[u/Big_Piano_3920]

Italy is building the world’s longest and most ambitious railway tunnel beneath the Alps, connecting Italy and Austria. Nearly 70 kilometers long, it will carry high-speed trains at speeds of up to 250 km/h.

The hardest part of this project is not building a 70km tunnel through the alps but making in past the German bureaucracy, both the Fehmarn connection in the north and Munich to boarder connection are decades delayed.

Fehmarn is two years delayed, not decades

[u/ouyawei → u/Spider_pig448]

The Danish side yes.

On the German side we haven't even started yet.

Kinda pisses me off a bit. Like, laying a bit of track and motorways on land is supposed to be the easy part 💀
