Swiss Alpine Transit

Keeping an eye on the two great swiss tunnel projects:
the new Gotthard Base Tunnel and
the new Loetschberg Base Tunnel.

Status of the work
In mid-February 2006, of the total of 153.5 km of tunnels, galleries and passages of the Gotthard Base Tunnel, almost 87 km or 56.5% had been excavated.
The total amount driven in January 2006 was 2,530 m.
On February 6, 2006, in the Gotthard Base Tunnel
the record daily advance of 141.46 m was excavated.
Refer to www.alp.transit.ch

Track construction on the Lötschberg base tunnel :
(bore completed last year)
63% = 31 km of the total 49 km
