Denmark and Germany now building the world's longest immersed tunnel

 

 The world’s longest immersed tunnel is being constructed between Denmark and Germany, 40 metres beneath the Baltic Sea. It will cut down travel time between the two countries to just seven minutes by train and 10 minutes by car
It is going to be an architectural marvel. By 2029, the world’s longest immersed tunnel, which is being constructed between Denmark and Germany, 40 metres beneath the Baltic Sea, will be ready.
After planning the project for more than a decade, the construction of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel started in 2020 and since then a temporary harbour has been completed on Denmark’s side.

Henrik Vincentsen, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Femern A/S, a state-owned Danish company that has taken charge of the project, said “The expectation is that the first production line will be ready around the end of the year, or beginning of next year. By the beginning of 2024, we have to be ready to immerse the first tunnel element,” as per a CNN report.
