This tunnel is part of a contract between Switzerlandand the EU: Reduce the number of lorrys on the highways and move the goods on the train. Kind of european north to south railway system. And the Alps are in the Way.
So the swiss "had" to spend billions and billions...
@foofick97 - euro tunnel was impressive but this is longer.
I dunno who said this was a "stupid" tunnel? that was immature and totally disrespectful to those 8 who lost their lives building this amazing project.
@BloodSlut I do think it is good that they are promoting the construction of underground transport and structures, theres alot of space down there and its better then carving up the surface, it is sad that 8 people lost their lives building it but I dont think accidents like that should stop these projects

15 years just to excavate the tunnel, then another 7 years to prepare it for rail traffic. Wow.
