Today, Railways Explained brings you the story of a future fixed link between Denmark and Germany in the form of an underwater tunnel whose construction began this year.

It is known as Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link, it will be the future longest immersed tunnel in the world (18 km!), and it aims to connect the cities of Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, and Berlin. Also, it will fill the gap in the Central European Corridor.

It will be fully financed by the Kingdom of Denmark and the financing model is based on state-guaranteed loans, which will be repaid using revenue from users of the tunnel i.e. toll collection from the road and track access charges from the railways.

German participation is limited to the development of land-based facilities on the German side.

The current investment value of the project is about 7.1 billion euros and the estimated payback period is 36 years.

Enjoy!
