🇮🇹🚇🇦🇹 Breakthrough for the Brenner Base Tunnel!
64 km of track under the Alps — the world’s longest cross-border rail tunnel is one stop closer:
🌍 Designed to reduce slope, boost speed and move 50 million tonnes of goods yearly
🚄 Passenger journeys cut by half: Munich–Verona 2.5h, Milan 3.5h, Rome 5.5h
With €2.8bn EU funding to date, it will ease congestion from Munich to Verona and connect Europe from Helsinki to Valletta.
Our future is on track 👇

@EUCommission This should also hopefully reduce car and truck traffic through the Brenner Pass. Currently there is a terrible, noisy highway through an otherwise very peaceful and natural valley.
