The Fehmarn belt link - the world's longest immersed tunnel The Fehmarnbelt link is one of Europe's most extensive construction projects to date. The 18 km Fehmarnbelt tunnel will connect Rodbyhavn on Lolland in Denmark with the island of Fehmarnin Germany. In addition to the immersed tunnel Femern A/S is responsible for, the Fehmarnbelt link comprises land-works on the Danish and German sides. The railway - on both sides of the Fehmarnbelt - is being upgraded to two electrified tracks that can handle speeds of up to 200 km/hr. When the tunnel is completed, the train journey from Hamburg to Copenhagen will take well under three hours. The tunnel will be user-financed -the same model that was used for the Storebaelt and 0resund fixed links. The Fehmarnbelt tunnel's payback period is 28 years. The tunnel project funds the investments for upgrading the railway between Ringsted and Rodby. |
