The Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link Tunnel Will Feature Two Dual-Carriageways and Two Electrified Railways, Connecting Germany and Denmark. It Will Be the Longest Combined Road and Rail Tunnel Anywhere in the World When Completed in 2029.

This project will cost about R$ 55 billion and will cross one of the sections of the Baltic Sea, known as the Fehmarn Belt, connecting with Rodbyhavn in Denmark and Lolland and Puttgarden in northern Germany.

The entire journey will take seven minutes by train and about ten minutes by car, avoiding a 160-kilometer detour through mainland Denmark. The travel time by train from Hamburg, Germany, to Copenhagen, Denmark, will be reduced from five hours to just three.

Denmark is also planning to build some high-speed electric rail lines for the tunnel. Train services will also continue to the borders of Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
