Construction of Fehmarnbelt Tunnel to Shorten Travel Time in Germany and Denmark by 2029

The tunnel is designed as an immersed tunnel, not a bored one. It ⁣will consist of 217-meter long concrete segments. These segments ⁣are already​ being manufactured ⁣in a huge ​concrete factory built specifically for this purpose on ⁢the Danish side of the​ strait. The factory produces⁢ five segments simultaneously on parallel lines.⁤ Each segment has nine sections,​ which are cast one by one due to their size.

According to the latest ​press release on the progress of segment production, the Danish government-owned​ company Femern, which is ⁤the investor, stated that⁢ the first segment has completed a quarter of its length and⁤ has already been moved out ‍of ​the factory ⁣building. As ‌of now, seven sections of the first⁣ segment are completed, and work​ is underway on⁤ the eighth, penultimate section. In total, 23 sections have been completed.

The ‍plan is to ⁢connect the first ⁢segment to the drilled land-based tunnel later this year and then extend the tunnel at ⁢the pace of​ segment production. The completion‍ in ⁣2029 seems realistic for now, according‌ to project manager Anders Gert ⁢Wede. The tunnel segments being produced are gigantic,⁢ not only in length but also in height, at forty meters. The tunnel will ‌accommodate a ‍double-track electrified railway and ⁢a three-lane motorway. Additionally, the segment profiles include emergency and service passages between‍ the road tubes.

Each completed segment is ‌sealed and launched into the water.⁣ Tugboats⁤ will tow it ‍to the designated location, where it will⁣ be ⁣submerged onto prepared seabed slots at a depth of​ about 35 ‌meters, ⁢extending ⁤the ⁢existing land-based⁣ tunnel by its 217 meters.⁤ The entire tunnel will then be⁣ backfilled, and a protective shield will be placed on the ‍newly filled rock.

Apart⁣ from the Fehmarn ‍Belt tunnel, another engineering‌ marvel between northern Germany and southern Sweden ⁢is the Øresund Bridge. It connects Copenhagen and Malmö, specifically linking Malmö⁣ to an ⁤artificial island‌ where the road goes‍ underwater and continues through a ​tunnel. This is also an immersed tunnel, like the ⁢Fehmarn Belt, but it is ⁤only 3.5 kilometers⁢ long and is located ⁤just ten meters below the water surface.10⁣ minut autem, resp. sedm⁤ minut vlakem.
