The longest motorway tunnel in Germany is the centrepiece of the new A 71 federal motorway from Erfurt to Schweinfurt.
During the construction of the Vienna underground line 2 extensive dewatering works with approx. 270 wells and approx. six million pumping hours were required. An electronic monitoring and control system made the measure safe.
The long-expected bypass in the Swabian town of Darmsheim will ensure an improved quality of life, since HGV traffic with approx. 23,000 vehicles will not pass through the town in future.
