Brenner Base Tunnel: Breakthrough of the tunnel pipes on the Brenner between Italy and Austria

The main tunnel tubes of the Brenner Base Tunnel between Austria and Italy have been connected approximately 1,400 meters below the Brenner Pass. This marks a significant milestone in the construction of the tunnel system, which spans 230 kilometers. The project aims to replace the over 150-year-old Alpine railway route, reducing travel time between Munich and Verona by about two hours. Construction began in 2015, and the tunnel is expected to open in 2032. Officials described this development as a 'milestone for united Europe on rails' and emphasized its importance for mobility.
