Rastatt railway tunnel - There might actually be 'light in the tunnel' for Germany's "never ending tunnel construction"

    At Germany's "never ending tunnel construction", at the Rastatt railway tunnels (Rastatter Bahn-Tunnels)  the excavation may actually be coming to an end at the western tube.

    The tunnel  project is the stage of perpetual tragedies. Collapsing tunnels, badly managed construction activities. As a result Deutsche Bahn has postponed the completion date for several times. The last time to 2026 (the original completion date was 2022).

    The 4270 meters long twin-bore tunnel will be part of the Karlsruhe–Basel high-speed railway under Rastatt in the German state of Baden-Württemberg.  It will be part of the Rotterdam–Genoa corridor as a part of the Main line for Europe.
