Description
The Germans initially claimed they could not afford to participate in the construction of a new tunnel, as it was neither their idea nor a priority compared to their existing ferry system. However, the Danes, who had already undertaken several large-scale infrastructure projects—including the Storebælt Bridge and rail tunnels, as well as a major bridge to Sweden—responded by agreeing to finance the tunnel entirely. This includes covering the cost of the necessary local connections in Germany.
As a result, the project will become a significant source of Danish profit for the next century, once the tunnel is completed in a few years. Unlike the expensive and infrequent ferry services, the tunnel will offer constant, reliable access, available at any time for travellers and freight.
