The full reopening of the Gotthard base tunnel strengthens the rail transport between the North Sea and the Mediterranean, enhancing connectivity for eight countries.
Construction took 17 years to excavate 28 million tons of rock, building the world's longest and deepest railway tunnel to improve high-speed rail links across Europe.
Unlike the old St. Gotthard routes, the new tunnel saves time and allows for more freight transport by rail, achieving a shift from road to rail.
Passengers enjoy quicker InterCity and EuroCity services, significantly reducing travel times between northern and southern Switzerland, highlighting the tunnel's benefits beyond freight.
