Tunnel on the Expansion and New Construction Route Hanover-Bielefeld
(hib) The federal government is providing 1.27 billion euros for the construction of a tunnel on the expansion and new construction route Hanover-Bielefeld. This was announced by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure on Friday. The construction of the tunnel is part of the four-track expansion of the Hanover-Bielefeld line, which is part of the core network of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T).
The new tunnel will be around 1.4 kilometers long and will run between the Wunstorf and Seelze stations. It will replace the existing single-track tunnel, which is no longer sufficient for the planned four-track expansion. The new tunnel will enable significantly higher train traffic and will also reduce noise pollution for the residents of Wunstorf and Seelze.
The construction of the tunnel is scheduled to begin in 2025 and is expected to be completed in 2030. The total cost of the project is estimated at around 1.7 billion euros. The federal government is providing around 75 percent of the costs, while the state of Lower Saxony is providing the remaining 25 percent.
The expansion and new construction of the Hanover-Bielefeld line is one of the most important infrastructure projects in Germany. The line is part of the core network of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) and is of great importance for both passenger and freight traffic. The expansion and new construction of the line will significantly improve the rail infrastructure in the region and will make an important contribution to the modal shift from road to rail.
