Austria and Germany Race to Finish the Brenner Base Tunnel by 2036
Austria's Federal Minister for Innovation, Mobility, and Infrastructure, Peter Hanke, is collaborating with German engineer Thomas Klenk on the completion of the northern approach to the Brenner Base Tunnel. The project aims to ease road traffic and boost rail transport, with an expected completion date of 2036.
Hanke, who views western transit routes as significant construction challenges, is dedicated to finishing the Brenner Base Tunnel. This ambitious project, a joint effort between Austria and Germany, is set to reduce congestion on roads and promote more efficient rail travel. The northern approach, currently under construction, is on track to be completed by 2036, with Hanke and Klenk working together to ensure its success.
The Brenner Base Tunnel, once completed, will connect Innsbruck in Austria with Fortezza in Italy. It is designed to accommodate both freight and passenger trains, significantly improving transport links between the two countries.
The Brenner Base Tunnel's northern approach is expected to be finished by 2036, with Hanke and Klenk leading the project. Upon completion, the tunnel is set to enhance rail transport, alleviate road traffic, and strengthen cross-border connections.
