The Brenner Tunnel or more specifically the Brenner Base Tunnel is a tunnel rail projected through the Brenner Pass in the Alps and the city connecting Austria to Innsbruck with the locality Italian of Fortezza. Have a length of 55 km, which will make it the second longest railway tunnel in the world once completed, surpassed only by the Gotthard Base Tunnel. The project provides for two separate tunnels that contain a path each. The start of construction in 2006 and completion is expected in 2025. The passenger and freight traffic across the Alps has increased greatly in recent years. In the goods sector, around 40% of the transit volume of the central Alpine arc on the burner axis are handled, and that about three-quarters down the street. For a long fight riparian for relief of the associated strong emissions. Building a Base Tunnel is seen by its advocates as an important condition of a transfer of transit freight from road to rail. The railway from Innsbruck to Bolzano was built in the years 1860-1867. The capacity limit is almost reached. On the Italian side, an optimization of the existing line took place in recent years, which was completed in late 2008, whereby the route can accommodate theoretically 240 trains per day. The slopes but were not significantly defused. On the new Brennerbahn a maximum slope of 12 per thousand and in the base tunnel of 4-6 per thousand is planned. This may result in a locomotive more than twice the mass. Thanks to the new line should be the travel time from Innsbruck after Bolzano reduce today a good two hours to less than half. The 55 km long, twin-bore main tunnel is in Innsbruck - Wilten at an altitude of 606 m above sea level. A. Mount penetrate and pass under the Alps at a rock overburden of up to 1800 m to the track at Fortezza in South Tyrol in 747 m above sea level. A. comes to light again. Since the new design of a twin-tube tunnel starting base used in the construction of the can tunnel Inn Valley already prepared diversion not be used; an elaborate diversion is planned with several branches instead. The outbreak amount of rock in the construction of the tunnel is estimated at 11.1 million m³, of which about 6.8 million m³ will be incurred in Austria, as about 60% of the tunnel in Austria are. Of the total outbreak amount to 6 million m³ will be used as fill material, 2.35 million m³ will serve as concrete aggregate and 2.75 million m³ are used for landfills and recultivation. The main tunnel tubes have a circular cross-section with a diameter of 9.6 m. On the entire length of the tunnel is an exploratory tunnel parallel to the main tubes built to explore the geology. In order to shorten the construction period, the three access tunnels Ahrental, Wolf and mouth are built. Go to the Inn Valley tunnel access tunnel Ampass is built. According to current plans, the intended apex of the tunnel at the border at an altitude of 794 m above sea level. M. are. A vertex further south could have been lowered. The treaty between Austria and Italy but requires the vertex at the point of the state border. The reason for this choice of the vertex is argued that Austrian water must run in the tunnel to Austria and Italian water to Italy. On the Austrian side of the tunnel thus receives 6.7 per thousand, at 4.0 per thousand Italian side slope. There are three emergency stops are built with evacuation options on the subsequent access tunnel. Some citizens' groups in North and South Tyrol are critical of the BBT. They argue that there would be no guarantees that the heavy traffic will actually shifted from road to rail and the tunnel is not going to burn the money Bauruine, and demand as the first and most important step, the introduction of restrictions on road transit, for example during an Alpine Crossing Exchange.
