Designed as the longest immersed tunnel in the world, stretching 18 kilometers beneath the Baltic Sea, this megaproject will revolutionize travel between Germany and Denmark, cutting travel time between Hamburg and Copenhagen by two hours. But as construction advances steadily on the Danish side, the German delays threaten to derail the entire timeline. From postponed approvals for the Fehmarn Sound Tunnel to the years-long electrification of the Lübeck–Puttgarden line, can Germany stay on track to meet the 2029 deadline? In this video, we break down: • How the tunnel is being built, element by element • Why the German side might ruin everything • What the future holds for cross-border rail and road traffic • And whether this €7.4 billion project will deliver on its promises If you enjoy deep dives into railway megaprojects, make sure to subscribe, like, and check out our eBook with 100 scripts from Railways Explained!
