The Fehmarn Belt tunnel is an 11-mile immersed-tube tunnel under the Baltic Sea connecting Denmark and Germany. The project involves casting 73,500-ton concrete boxes on the Danish island of Lolland, which are then transported and lowered onto the seabed to form the tunnel. The project is currently about two years behind schedule, with two of the 89 elements placed on the seabed and 87 remaining.

Description
Description | The Fehmarn Belt tunnel is an 11-mile immersed-tube tunnel under the Baltic Sea connecting Denmark and Germany. The project involves casting 73,500-ton concrete boxes on the Danish island of Lolland, which are then transported and lowered onto the seabed to form the tunnel. The project is currently about two years behind schedule, with two of the 89 elements placed on the seabed and 87 remaining. The tunnel opening has been split into two stages: road first (expected earliest in 2032) and railway later, with no set date due to delays in German rail connection approvals. |
