Swiss Finish World’s Longest Rail Tunnel

The 57 km (35 miles) Gotthard tunnel has taken 14 years to build and is unlikely to open before the end of 2016.Construction of the 57-kilometer-long tunnel between Zurich and Milan began in 1996, and enough rock was excavated to create five Egyptian Pyramids .

Travel time between Zurich and Milan will probably be reduced by as much as one and a half hours.Switzerland is one of Europe’s most important hub for freight and the tunnel is part of a larger project to move freight from road to rail.

The tunnel will move the transportation of these items from the trucks on rails.The 10m diameter drilling head tore through the mountains to cheers and applause from watching workers.

It is part of a larger plan to move freight from road to rail.The incident that took place shortly after 1415 (1215 GMT), was broadcast live on Swiss television and was seen by transport ministers across Europe.

Many of the workers looked at the two ends of the tunnel met 2000 m underground.Freight traffic over the Alpine region will grow by as much as 75 percent in 2010, according to a survey by the European Commission.

The length of the Gotthard tunnel exceeds 53.8 km Seikan railway tunnel connecting the Japanese islands of Honshu and Hokkaido, and 50 km Channel Tunnel linking England and France.

When high-speed link will open in 2017, the project will take up to 300 trains a day in the Alps.
