Breakthrough at the Semmering Base Tunnel!
After an incredible 3,374 days, the excavation work on construction lot SBT1.1 was successfully completed on December 11, 2024. With this, we are thrilled to announce that all excavation work for the entire Semmering Base Tunnel is now finished!
This journey has been filled with exciting, eventful, and - especially from a geotechnical perspective - highly challenging tunnel drives. Looking back, it is clear that this milestone was only possible thanks to the outstanding collaboration of everyone involved.
A huge thank you to all who contributed to this achievement!
Glück Auf!
The final breakthrough of the tunnel crown on Track 2 took place on November 29, 2024.
