The Tunnel That Is Changed European Travel Forever

A boring machine just dug the last meter of rock 4,500 feet under the Brenner Pass in the Alps to complete the world’s longest railroad tunnel, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker present for the historic moment. The Brenner Pass Tunnel, running from Austria’s Tulfes through Innsbruck to Italy’s Trentino Alto Adige region, will reduce rail commutes between Munich and Verona by two-and-a-half hours while shifting massive amounts of freight off Italy’s crowded northern roads and onto rails. This engineering marvel is part of an ambitious EU railroad project series that will one day see trains running from Helsinki, Finland, to Palermo, Sicily, dramatically reshaping travel and freight maps across Europe by seriously incentivizing rail over road transportation.

The tunnel addresses a critical bottleneck as more than $800 billion in goods currently cross the Alps by truck every year through the Brenner Pass, with the new rail line expected to take thousands of the 2 million trucks off the roads annually. Additional projects include tunnels and high-speed rail connecting Genoa to Milano, and the Lyon-Turin line that will reduce transit time between fashion capitals Milan and Paris by 30 percent, cutting the journey from seven hours down to four-and-a-half. Meloni declared at the ceremony that there is no project too big to be tackled, proving that ambitious infrastructure can still unite nations around shared goals. All projects are expected to finish in the early 2030s, finally giving Italy’s railroads their first major upgrade since the Roma-Milano high-speed line opened in 2008 and allowing goods and passengers to flow much more freely throughout the continent.
