17 Dec The Billion Dollar European Tunnel Megaproject 

Europe is undertaking massive tunnel projects through the Alps, part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), to create faster, higher-capacity rail links, with estimates for network-wide efforts reaching around $45 billion, significantly reducing bottlenecks for freight and passengers, notably through projects like the Lyon-Turin (Mont Damin Base Tunnel) and Brenner Base Tunnel, aiming to shift millions of trucks off roads and cut travel times.
