Immersed tunnels are not new. The Drogden tunnel, the eastern part of the Øresund fixed link, opened in the year 2000, is an immersed tunnel. And it was far from the first., opened in the year 2000
This saves alot of time for alot of people. And for alot of trucks that can cut 3 hours off their drive saves alot of fucking money and time. Time is money and this will benefit alot of people
It will cut a lot of traffic all through the mainland of Denmark, especially between Sweden and Germany. Both cars/trucks, but also freight trains, that can cut almost all travel through Denmark. There's lots of aspects to why it's good investment for Denmark, also why Denmark is the primary funding and development of the project.
You clearly didn't watch the video. He explains this in details and also what the difference between the way it was done in Øresund compared to Femern.
The facts are correct if not stated clearly. The Storebælt connection has a tunnel for trains and a suspension bridge for cars to the east. To the west two lower level bridges for trains and cars. The transition occurs on an existing island in the middle. This was chosen because heavy trains cannot clime the 65 meters high suspension bridge required for the international sea route.

The Maastunnel in the Netherlands was build like this in 1937. Don't know why it is hyped up as a new technique. The lego connection provides a nice clickbait I guess.
Well so was the Øresundstunnel as they said in the video, the thing here is that the tunnel is 18km long instead of just a mere 200m or something
In the beginning of the video, he implied that it was the way the tunnel is build is unique, not the length. After that, I just stopped watching.
This isn't even the first such tunnel in Denmark, in this flat few tunnel country, this is our fifth of this type, the only "new" thing is the length.
always like Lolland representation.
Do they lay a bed of gravel to create a stronger base to lay tunnel on top.....
Yes, and on top of the gravel, the former sandy bottom is pushed back, so that seaweed and wildlife can come again.
Hey, that's our project :).
