Construction works kick off on the world’s longest immersed tunnel February 2, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
The Femern Link Contractors joint venture began work on the world’s longest immersed tunnel last month.
Up to 9 metres high and 43 metres wide, the 18 km long combined road and rail tunnel linking Germany and Denmark will foster trade and tourism in Northern Europe.
Works have started on the Danish side, with the construction of the factory that will manufacture the 200-metre precast concrete box girders that will be immersed to form the fixed link between Denmark’s Lolland Falster region and Germany’s Schleswig Holstein Land.
