#Denmark and #Germany now building the world's longest #immersed_tunnel
Descending up to 40 meters #beneath the Baltic Sea, the world's longest immersed tunnel will link Denmark and Germany, slashing journey times between the #two_countries when it opens in 2029.
After more than a decade of planning, construction started on the #Fehmarnbelt_Tunnel in 2020 and in the months since a temporary harbor has been completed on the Danish side. It will host the factory that will soon build the 89 massive concrete sections that will make up the tunnel.
"The expectation is that the first production line will be ready around the end of the year, or beginning of next year," said Henrik Vincentsen, CEO of Femern A/S, the state-owned Danish company in charge of the project. "By the beginning of 2024 we have to be ready to immerse the first tunnel element."
