The pass road culminates about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above the tunnel, at a height of 2,106 metres (6,909 ft), and is only passable in summer. Durch den ersten Bahntunnel wird der Gotthard zu einer der wichtigsten Alpentransversalen. In 1882, with the inauguration of the Gotthard Railway Tunnel, the travel time between Altdorf and Biasca was reduced dramatically to only hours, though often accompanied with overnight stays in huge Fin de siècle-hotels, for example in Biasca. In order to accomplish this mega-project the political institutions also had to overcome many parliamentary sessions and several major popular votes, including the following:[65], Integration of the portals into the landscape, The new 4 km long open-air section from Rynächt to the north portal, Start of the new 7 km long open-air section from Giustizia to the south portal, The Pollegio Control Centre (near the south portal) with one of the four used TBM cutter heads on display. [22] A second tunnel will be built next to the first, following a national referendum. The Alpine Initiative "for the protection of the Alpine region from transit traffic", which raised barriers against road tunnel construction, was initially blocked by the Swiss Parliament. In contrast, another tunnel through the Alps, the San Bernardino road tunnel as part of the A13 in the canton of Graubünden further east, is relatively uncongested and shorter. [13] The reconstruction would have lasted for several years in any variant – one variant would push the traffic over the mountain pass, another proposed to load the vehicles onto trains with a new terminal, a third would close the tunnel for several months every year over time range of a decade. [12], Access to the Sedrun station site is by a level access tunnel 1 km (0.6 mi) long from the valley floor near Sedrun. The main crest of the Glarus Alps, which is the watershed between the Reuss and the Anterior Rhine, is crossed below the Chrüzlistock, the crest having an elevation of about 2,700 m (8,900 ft) at this point. - 16.04.2021: 4 Nächte. Train services from Italy to Switzerland through the line are expected to become faster from 2020, with the opening of the Ceneri Base Tunnel, with an expected further increase in passenger numbers. It opened on 1 June 2016 and full service began on 11 December 2016. Note the prevalence of coniferous trees and snow at the north portal and the absence of them at the south portal. Following the catastrophic fire in the road tunnel in 2001, car shuttle trains resumed operations for a few weeks. Med en længde på 57 km og en total længde på 153,5 km (tunneler, skakter og passager) er det den længste tunnel i verden (af alle jernbane- og vejtunneler), foran den tidligere rekordindehaver, Seikantunnelen, (som forbinder de japanske øer Honshū og Hokkaidō). It was opened in 1882. At time of construction, in 1980, it was the longest road tunnel in the world; it is currently the fifth-longest. [2] Although it is a motorway tunnel, part of the A2 from Basel to Chiasso, it consists of only one bidirectional tube with two lanes. As early as 1947, engineer Eduard Gruner imagined a two-story base tunnel from Amsteg to Biasca, both rail and road, with a stop at Sedrun, to provide a faster and flatter passage through the Swiss Alps. [12], The main purpose of the Gotthard Base Tunnel is to increase local transport capacity through the Alpine barrier, especially for freight, notably on the Rotterdam–Basel–Genoa corridor, and more specifically to shift freight volumes from trucks to freight trains. The goal of both the laws is to transport trucks, trailers and freight containers through Switzerland, from Basel to Chiasso, and beyond by rail to relieve the overused roads, and that of the Gotthard in particular, by using intermodal freight transport and rolling highways (where the entire truck is transported). Amsteg portal (maintenance access), 507 m (1,663 ft) a.s.l. Die Autostrasse verbindet Göschenen im Kanton Uri mit Airolo im Kanton Tessin. The tunnel provides a faster connection between the canton of Ticino and the rest of Switzerland, as well as between northern and southern Europe, cutting the Basel/Zürich–Lugano–Milan journey time for passenger trains by one hour (and from Lucerne to Bellinzona by 45 minutes). Montagabend bis Freitagmorgen von 22.00 bis 05.00 Uhr. Since the opening date on 1 June 2016, between 130 and 160 trains on an average working day operated through the Gotthard Base Tunnel, which in March 2019 marked the 100,000th transit. On 31 May 2016, a day before the inauguration, the nine people who died during construction were commemorated in a ceremony at the north portal in Erstfeld that was led by a Catholic vicar general, a vicar of the Evangelical-Reformed Church of Uri, a Jewish rabbi, and a Muslim imam. Traffic jams are expected at St.Gotthard tunnel South entrance this Saturday between 11 and Sunday 1h (Friday 10 to 23 h, Sunday from 11 to 21 h). über A2 und Oberalp- und Lukmanier-Pass. Like the two other tunnels passing below the Gotthard, the Gotthard Base Tunnel connects two Alpine valleys across the Saint-Gotthard Massif: the Urner Reusstal in the canton of Uri, in which flows the river Reuss, and the Valle Leventina, the largest valley in the canton of Ticino, in which the river Ticino flows. Answer 1 of 20: Hi all, I'm travelling from the uk through to Genova, Italy area in 2 weeks. (Se også artikler, som begynder med Skt. [3] As of 1998, the total projected cost of the project was CHF 6.323 billion; as of December 2015, the final cost is projected as CHF 9.560 billion. Since the 13th century, the 2,106-metre-high (6,909 ft) Gotthard Pass has been an important trade route from northern to southern Europe. The first regularly served railway stations on the base line (as of 2016/17) are those of Arth-Goldau (Schwyz), a railway node with links to Lucerne and Zürich, and Bellinzona (the "Gate of Ticino"), with links to Locarno, Luino and Lugano (via the Monte Ceneri Rail Tunnel). [18] A Catholic shrine to Saint Barbara, the patron of miners, stands inside the tunnel as a memorial.[60]. [note 3], The north portal lies in the north of the municipality of Erstfeld at an elevation of 460 m (1,510 ft), east of the Reuss. It is the deepest railway tunnel in the world, with a maximum depth of 2,450 m (8,040 ft),[4] comparable to that of the deepest mines on Earth. Answer 1 of 20: Hi all, I'm travelling from the uk through to Genova, Italy area in 2 weeks. [23][24] Construction is to start in 2020 and finish in 2027. Traffic flows through only one tunnel, which carries traffic both ways, with each direction allocated one lane. The GBT is 57 kilometers long and is conquered in only twenty minutes. A proposal to construct a functioning railway station, called Porta Alpina (from Romansh, "Alpine Gate"), at this site was evaluated, but the project was put on hold in 2007 and definitively cancelled by the federal authorities in 2012 as uneconomical. [82], As of August 2017, an average of 10,400 people cross the tunnel daily. The Gotthard Road Tunnel is one of the three tunnels that connect the Swiss Plateau to southern Switzerland and run under the Gotthard Massif, the two other being railway tunnels, the Gotthard Tunnel (1882) and the Gotthard Base Tunnel (2016). Without ventilation, the temperature inside the mountain reaches 46 °C (115 °F).[4]. "[19] On average, the temperature is about 3 °C (5 °F) higher on the south side than the north side, but on some days, temperature differences are well over 10 °C (18 °F). The new base tunnel establishes a direct route usable by high-speed rail and heavy freight trains. All three tunnels bypass the Gotthard Pass, an important trade route since the 13th century. über A2 Gotthard-Tunnel . Unlike most other tunnels, the Gotthard Base Tunnel passes under several distinct mountain massifs, two of them being major subranges of the Alps, the Glarus Alps and the Saint-Gotthard Massif, with the valley of the Anterior Rhine, the Surselva in the canton of Graubünden, between them. In November 2015 a train travelled for the first time at the maximum test speed of 275 km/h through the world's longest railway tunnel. No, there is no additional tunnel toll charge for the Gotthard tunnel. Its purpose was to test the infrastructure and any ancillary systems. Simplon, San Bernardino, Brenner, Mont Cenis), namely in 1830, the first Saint-Gotthard Pass road was established after centuries-long usage of a bridle path. On 8 November, a train reached the top speed of 275 km/h.[39]. The Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT; German: Gotthard-Basistunnel, Italian: Galleria di base del San Gottardo, Romansh: Tunnel da basa dal Son Gottard) is a railway tunnel through the Alps in Switzerland.It opened on 1 June 2016 and full service began on 11 December 2016. Doch schon jetzt wird am Nordende des Tunnels, … Central - Wan Chai Bypass Tunnel - Toll Free. Construction is scheduled to start in 2020, with the cost estimated at almost CHF 3 billion. With a maximum elevation of 1,175 metres (3,855 ft)[3] at the tunnel's highest point, the A2 motorway has the lowest maximum elevation of any direct north-south road through the Alps.[4]. 04h00. After the opening of the auto tunnel, in 1980, traffic increased more than tenfold. Sicherheit im Tunnel Strassentunnels bergen besondere Risiken. For a few kilometres, the tunnel passes below two western tributaries of the Brenno in the Valle Santa Maria before crossing the last range, west of the Passo Predèlp (about 2,500 m (8,200 ft)) and east of Faido. [35], On 16 December 2013, the operational test phase started on a 13-kilometre (8.1 mi) stretch in the southern section of the west tube between Faido and Bodio. The Gotthard Rail Tunnel, close but separate from the expressway tunnel, handles rail traffic on the north-south line in Switzerland. De tunnel is om beurten slechts in één rijrichting geopend. While the Brenner motorway is a toll road, for the Gotthard tunnel (and also San Bernardino tunnel) there are NO additional toll costs.. It is part of the New Railway Link through the Alps (NRLA) project, which also includes the Ceneri Base Tunnel further south (opened on 3 September 2020) and the Lötschberg Base Tunnel on the other main north–south axis. The Gotthard Tunnel is the core and culminating point of the A2 motorway in Switzerland, running south from Basel through the tunnel down to Chiasso on the border with Italy. We were so excited to make this our experience. After two or three more kilometres, the border between the cantons of Uri and Ticino is passed; after another 7 kilometres (4.3 mi), the tunnel ends at the southern portal near to Airolo (1,146 m (3,760 ft)). [13], After 64 percent of Swiss voters accepted the NRLA project in a 1992 referendum, first preparatory and exploratory work began in 1996. It is the longest railway tunnel in the world! The first journey carried hundreds of Swiss citizens who had won tickets in a draw, while the assembled guests in Erstfeld, including the Federal Council in corpore, heads of state and government from neighbouring countries and transport ministers from European countries, attended the opening show Sacre del Gottardo by Volker Hesse featuring 600 dancers, acrobats, singers and musicians celebrating Alpine culture and myths around the Gotthard. Since the GBT is in full service, standard freight trains of up to 3,600 t (4,000 short tons; 3,500 long tons) are able to pass this natural barrier. Aerial views of the works (by AlpTransit AG): This page was last edited on 19 December 2020, at 13:43. [32] The final breakthrough in the west tube occurred on 23 March 2011 at 12:20. This second tunnel can be built out to a full road tunnel, allowing four lanes of traffic. From the bottom of the valley, the tunnel proceeds towards the valley of the Rein da Nalps (Val Nalps) and passes east of Lai da Nalps, before crossing the Gannaretsch range below the western summit of Piz Vatgira (2,981 m (9,780 ft)). The tunnel was officially inaugurated on 1 June 2016. During 2016, the GBT was tested extensively[62][63] before its integration into the regular schedule on 11 December. Passenger trains can travel up to 250 km/h (155 mph) through the GBT, currently reducing travel times for trans-Alpine train journeys by about 40 minutes, and by one hour once the adjacent Zimmerberg and Ceneri Base Tunnels are completed. The Gotthard Pass is located halfway between Lake Lucerne and Lake Maggiore.

[81], The number of projected trains per day was 180–260 freight trains and 50 (65 from 2020) passenger trains[5], After the opening of the tunnel there was an increase of passenger crossing the trans-alpine line, with 2.3 million passengers in the first 8 months, an increase of 30% over the previous year. For instance, carbon monoxide is highly toxic at very low concentrations; having this trapped in a confined space allows concentrations to build well beyond a fatal level. Despite reports that petrol was the cause of the fire, the truck that was hit was a diesel truck. Carbon monoxide can trigger a clinical response at a level as low as 100 parts per million. This is viewed as a revolution, especially in the isolated region of Ticino, which is separated from the rest of the country by the Alps and the Gotthard. Hit by a boring bar that fell 700 metres (2,300 ft). The 57km (35-mile) twin-bore Gotthard base tunnel will provide a high-speed rail link under the Swiss Alps between northern and southern Europe. The Gotthard Tunnel (German: Gotthardtunnel, Italian: Galleria del San Gottardo) is a 15,003 m (49,221 ft) long railway tunnel and forms the summit of the Gotthard Railway in Switzerland. Gotthardtunnelen. The GBT substantially contributes to the requirements of both laws and enables a direct flat route from the ports of the North Sea (notably Rotterdam) to those of the Mediterranean Sea (notably Genoa), via the Rhine corridor. AlpTransit Gotthard AG was responsible for construction. Gotthard-passet i Schweiz løber fra Göschenen i Kanton Uri mod nord til Airolo i Ticino mod syd. (Confusion over whether petrol or diesel was in the truck that was hit stems from a mistranslation of the word "diesel" in the English version of the original article in German.

The existing tunnel was at its capacity by 2013. It has four large ventilation shafts and an additional side gallery between 10 and 18 metres (33 and 59 ft) from the main tunnel, having its own independent ventilation system in order to facilitate the cutting of a second tunnel, should future traffic levels require it. With the completion in 1986 of the A2 motorway in the Valle Leventina, the huge valley leading from Airolo down to Bellinzona, and the surmounting of the Monte Ceneri between Bellinzona and Lugano in 1983, finally a continuous motorway was established from the northern border of Switzerland in Basel to the southern border in Chiasso, or the shortest motorway route from North-German Hamburg as far as South-Italian Sicilly, bringing down the competitiveness of the railway line. The tunnel rises from the northern portal at Göschenen (1,080 m (3,540 ft)) and the culminating point is reached after approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi). For alternative betydninger, se Skt. Quite late, compared to other current top-importance routes through the Alps (e.g. It took seventeen years to complete the Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) which provides reliable and fast north-south connection through the Gotthard. At 57 kilometres, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) is the longest railway tunnel in the world and represents the centrepiece of the New Rail Link through the Alps (NRLA). A gold sleeper on the very last part of the track was installed during the event to mark this milestone of progress. Woche Datum Dauer Behinderung / Umleitung; 15: 12.04. Before the Gotthard Base Tunnel could be commissioned, in more than 3,500 test runs the interplay of all tunnel components and systems was thoroughly tested. Although it is a motorway tunnel, part of the A2 from Basel to Chiasso, it consists of only one bidirectional tube with two lanes. [82], 67,000 tons on 120 trains passed through the tunnel each day during the first half year of operation.[84]. The safety requirements on the rolling stock will be similar to those of other long Swiss tunnels, including the ability for the emergency brake to be overridden. It remains a single bore tunnel with just one lane operating in each direction.

It connects Göschenen with Airolo and was the first tunnel through the Saint-Gotthard Massif in order to bypass the St Gotthard Pass.It is built as one double-track, standard gauge tunnel. Wir sorgen mit unseren technischen Einrichtungen und unserem Personal für Ihre Sicherheit während der Fahrt durch den Gotthard. [60] At the northern entrance in Erstfeld, President of the Confederation Johann Schneider-Ammann spoke of a "giant step for Switzerland but equally for our neighbours and the rest of the continent", while a live relay carried a speech given by Transport Minister Doris Leuthard at the southern entrance in Bodio. [4][9] It is also the first flat route through the Alps or any other major mountain range, with a maximum height of 549 m (1,801 ft) above sea level,[4] corresponding to that of Bern. 276 km. über A6/A8 und weiter über Susten- und Gotthard-Pass. Biasca, south portal, 312 m (1,024 ft) a.s.l. Trying to reduce toll costs as much as possible so going via The Gotthard Tunnel which I believe is free. [18], The Gotthard Base Tunnel, with a length of 57.09 km (35.47 mi) and a total of 151.84 km (94.3 mi) of tunnels, shafts and passages, is the longest railway tunnel in the world,[note 2] with a geodetic distance of 55.782 km (34.661 mi) between the two portals. 348 km. Swiss Touring Club recommendation for this weekend is still to avoid St.Gotthard area. In first instance it was only built for safety: an escape route in case of accidents. Bovenop komen nog brandstofkosten. All of these have their drawbacks and the usage of the second tunnel was chosen as the best option to allow for the reconstruction. The actual upgrade mining of the second road tunnel would last from 2020 to 2027 at a cost of 2.7 billion francs for the whole project including the following reconstruction of the first tunnel. Faido portal (maintenance access), 757 m (2,484 ft) a.s.l. A second law, the Alpine Protection Act of February 1994,[26] requires a shift of as much tonnage as possible from truck transport to train transport. A fifth at Bodio was added later. Der Tunnel steigt von Göschenen her zuerst mit 5,82 ‰ Steigung auf einer Länge von 7822 Metern, bis er den Scheitelpunkt erreicht. There are plans for a train service between Zürich and Milan with a journey time of 2:45 hours, down from 3:50 hours. Nine workers lost their lives during construction; one in the Amsteg section, two in the Sedrun section, and three each in the southernmost Faido and Bodio sections. [64] On 5 December, the Swiss Federal Railways were granted permission from the Federal Transport Office to use the new base line. It posed a huge challenge for automobiles. [17] Nine people died during construction. After a few kilometres the tunnel crosses the watershed between the Anterior Rhine and the Ticino, just north of Pizzo dell'Uomo (2,525 m (8,284 ft)). [21] Passenger speed was also increased on the railway line with the use of tilting trains, notably the ICN, although maximum speed remaining far lower than on a modern straight high-speed line. Prior to the opening of the tunnel, cars were transported through the nearby railway tunnel on car shuttle trains. Public institutions joined the celebrations: Swiss Post issued a special stamp commemorating the Gotthard Base Tunnel,[58][59] and Swissmint issued gold and silver coins dedicated to the opening. On the historic track the Gotthard Railway only trains up to 1,300 t (1,400 short tons; 1,300 long tons)[25] when using two locomotives or up to 1,500 t (1,700 short tons; 1,500 long tons) with an additional bank engine at the end of the train are able to pass through the narrow mountain valleys and through spiral tunnels climbing up to the portals of the old tunnel at a height of 1,151 m (3,776 ft) above sea level. über A6/A6 und Susten-, Oberalp-, und Lukmanier-Pass. [citation needed], Construction on a second, parallel road tunnel was started. [5], In March 2014, the Swiss Government approved a bill to allow the building of a second road tunnel. From the Amsteg portal, guided tours are organised inside the Gotthard Base Tunnel complex. A February 1994 Alpine Initiative passed (with 52% of the vote), and Parliament upheld the referendum twice through the 1990s. Februar 1992", "Bundesbeschluss über die Volksinitiative "zum Schutze des Alpengebietes vor dem Transitverkehr" vom 18. 302 km. The tunnel passes under these two ranges more than two kilometres (6,600 ft) below the Chrüzlistock (2,709 m (8,888 ft)) and the Piz Vatgira (2,983 m (9,787 ft), near the Lukmanier Pass). Return route via St.Gotthard pass same procedure: check traffic information (radio, websites), leave motorway early enough for Airolo, follow the signs to St.Gotthard pass (blue for main roads, as opposed to green for motorways in Switzerland). Because of ever-increasing international truck traffic, Swiss voters chose a shift in transportation policy in September 1992 by accepting the NRLA proposal.

A window allows visitors to watch the trains running in the tunnel. [5] The tunnel was built roughly parallel to the old railway tunnel, with portals a few hundred metres away from those of the railway. [12], The Swiss government has decided to upgrade the second tunnel into a full road tunnel in order to allow for the necessary reconstruction of the first road tunnel. Refilling water boilers of steam locomotives was no longer necessary. Gotthardtunnelen under Skt. From the crest and border, the tunnel runs parallel to the small valley of the river Strem (Val Strem) before passing below Sedrun and the Anterior Rhine.
