The World’s Longest Immersed Tunnel Is Almost Built—a $7 Billion Project Without a Tunnel Boring Machine
What if the future of tunnels wasn’t about digging? The Fehmarnbelt Tunnel, the world’s largest immersed tunnel, is being built without a single tunnel boring machine. Instead, engineers are using a bold, unconventional method that’s faster, more precise, and environmentally conscious. Stretching 18 kilometers beneath the Baltic Sea, this $7 billion project is set to transform travel and trade in Europe.
When we think of groundbreaking advancements, flashy gadgets and futuristic tech often steal the spotlight. But some of the most transformative innovations are happening where we can’t see them—beneath the surface. Enter the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel, a colossal engineering project that is set to redefine European connectivity while pushing the boundaries of modern construction. Spanning the Fehmarnbelt Strait between Germany and Denmark, this tunnel is not just a feat of engineering; it’s a symbol of progress, collaboration, and sustainability....
