Undersea Tunnel Denmark and Germany: Earlier the needs of the communications and energy sectors were met by laying cables and pipelines in the depths of the sea. The practice of tunneling underwater is gaining momentum all over the world. China and Europe are at the forefront of the world in this regard. Currently, the discussion is about the world’s longest underwater tunnel, which is being built between Denmark and Germany. This unique tunnel will be ready by 2029.
The world’s longest underwater tunnel is the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link Tunnel. According to a report published in ‘Euro News’, both rail traffic and road traffic will operate from under this sea tunnel. This special tunnel will connect Germany and Denmark. The work of this project is progressing well and the governments of both countries are monitoring it.
It is believed that this longest sea tunnel will revolutionize the whole of Europe. The largest engineering project was ever done in Denmark. Which is part of the Ten-T program of the European Union (EU). Through this project, transport links of the entire continent will be created and interconnectivity will also be strengthened. Recognizing the importance of its broader ambitions, the European Union has contributed €1.1 billion to its construction.
After nearly 10 years of preparation and research, the construction of the Fehmarn Belt Tunnel began in 2020. According to the report of ‘Euro News’, the length of this tunnel will be 18 km. It is the largest infrastructure project in Europe.
The unique tunnel being built 40 meters deep inside the Baltic Sea will directly connect Germany’s Fehmarn and Denmark’s Lowland Island. At present, crores of people travel by boat every year between the two countries. This boat service is between Rodby (Denmark) and Puttgarden (Germany). This sea journey by boat takes about 45 minutes to 60 minutes. But due to the construction of the tunnel, this distance will be covered in 7 minutes by train and 10 minutes by car.
The Fehmarn Belt Tunnel is very important from a strategic point of view. It will connect the countries of Scandinavia and Central Europe. Through this tunnel, goods will be transported by rail and road. This mode of transport is also considered very favorable from the point of view of climate.
The world’s longest underwater tunnel being built between Denmark and Germany will be a unique example of a miracle of engineering and science in itself. According to experts, it takes about five hours to travel from Copenhagen to Hamburg by train. But, with the construction of this tunnel, the distance to cover this distance will be reduced to about two hours.
