🆕 Update from The Fehmarnbelt Project, the world's longest immersed tunnel that's funded by #CEFTransport 🚇 The first of 89 concrete elements that will make up the future Fehmarnbelt tunnel between Denmark and Germany is on its way to the immersion point off the coast near Rødbyhavn on the Danish island of Lolland. The 217 m long and 73 500-tonne concrete element left the work harbour of the tunnel factory at 9 pm on 4 May 2026. In preparation of the immersion, contractors added a further 4 500 tonnes of ballast concrete to ensure the element is heavy enough to sink to the seabed. Now, the just over 2 km journey to the immersion point off the future tunnel portal has just begun. The element is being transported with the help of 5 tugboats and a vessel built specifically to immerse the element down onto the seabed.
