- France Is Building A $28 Billion Tunnel To Italy Through The Alps - Turin Lyon Railway
France and Italy rank as each other's second-largest trading partners, with trade between them amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Thus, establishing a high-quality transport link is economically vital. However, the Alps Mountain range, stretching across the entire Franco-Italian border and reaching elevations of up to 3 miles above sea level, poses a significant challenge to achieving this transport goal. But in a bold endeavour to connect the two nations, France and Italy are now undertaking the construction of a $28 billion railway through the Alps. Today, we will explore the new Turin-Lyon Railway, examining the scope of its construction, its distinctive features, and its positive and negative impacts.

It is France AND Italy together that build the tunnel, not only France. The Swiss have done this on their own some years ago with the Gotthard tunnel of 55 km.
And the Austrians are actually building two long base tunnels, the Semmering Base Tunnel (all in Austria) and the Brenner Base Tunnel (Austria and Italy joint project). Both should be complete just after 2030.
Change the title, it is being built by both Italy and France
Il giornalista si è distratto oppure è poco informato. In ogni caso non è il primo che dice fanfaronate.
Besides the money that France pays into the EU, according to the information in this video Italy is paying more than France, so it might be better to say that Italy or the EU is building the tunnel.
Wtf, it's both France AND Italy, why highlight only France on the title? It's a serious channel this?
Why distances in miles?
The international unit is the kilometer, wake up, man!
I agree
Probably developed by English speakers, or for English speakers who still use Imperial measurements.
@@ivanoffw Americans learn about metric units in school. Products in US stores are marked in metric and American units for tens of years already.
So we need to push them slightly to start using these units.
These "base" tunnels running through the "base" of the mountains with almost no grade, are revolutionizing European rail travel.
France and Italy , togheter building....
CHANGE THE TITLE,!!! Give Italy some credit they are the main financiers not the french,
4:28 ...why are you showing a rail network map of SPAIN?
And Italy pays more then France for it!
Only for the main 57,4 km tunnel. France has far more construction to complete than Italy for the entire project., so overall, France will be spending significantly more.
Completely misleading! There's not one single Dollar spent on that project!
It's in Europe (a lesser-known geographical area outside the U S., but still on earth). And YES, there's human life outside the U.S., with people speaking their own languages, using their own measures und having their own currencies!
Why are you showing NYC trains?
and the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland!
I am wondering if any of the pictures or video are actually from the site, or are they all just free-use videos so they don't have to pay any copyright fees.
Connectivity & Transparency is the Future of Europe 🇪🇺
Way to go!
Oui!
I like it, traveling to Milan and St. Moritz and Tirana this Fall, USA is so far behind on Train Travels! 💙💙💙🇺🇸
I am sure that this mega railway project will be opened BEFORE 2030
This is impressive ! Meanwhile here in Québec, Canada we can't afford asphalt for our roads and besides, in Canada, we don't care for trains.
Love it
Love how the EU works together for its citizens.
There is nothing like it on the world.
The UK is so far behind, living in the past.
The petroleum based is economy has so many amazing opportunities but can’t get it done.
Have used several times in Europe it’s the best.
Comfy, peaceful, efficient.
You are mixing metric system units with prehistoric imperial units. Why? Use metric units only.
I’m curious where exactly this railway will go. I often think railway should be used for the goods transport. As it’s right now European motorways are taken over by trucks . I look forward . A month ago we were driving from Turin🇮🇹 to Swiss town of Montreux and there is unfortunately no railway there . Would be nice to connect the railway to Switzerland too …
Deniz cara sembra che hai pò di confusione in testa.
Not concerned with CO2 emissions but greater efficiency and convenience is to be applauded. Am amazed the EU is putting up 40% of the cost. Seems a high contribution when the marginal benefit to other countries will not be that large?
Great project. Seems to be going ok. If it was in the UK it would now be three years behind schedule, and four times over budget. Time we had a Manchester to Leeds base tunnel……………
I am going to go out on a limb here, but my guess is that many of the groups against the project are funded by the auto, trucking, and airline industries, maybe with a few Alps towns worried about fewer travelers stopping in their towns.
Quite impressive.Italy especially needs to get rid of very short stage length flights, which France supposedly is implementing.
Non of the routes with HST in Italy have flight routes that are in the top 30 in Europe.. Unlike in Germany . Alitalia already went bust, partly due to domestic competition by hst rail ..
As long as you talk about miles, i am not going to watch or subscribe.
Kinda odd that MTA subway train footage is used in this vid on a tunnel between Turin, Italy and Lyon, France. Just wondering where the criticism against this project originated? Whilst driving through this region several years ago, the constant line of trucks passing through small alpine villages and towns was also lined with by the side of the road monuments for locals who became victims of this traffic. In the meantime the traffic in this area has significantly increased. When this line will finally be open, it will have a significant impact on this transalpine traffic. Provided of course that piggyback transport becomes the standard. Cheerio
The indicated budget is only for the main tunnel. France will be building an additional 140 km of tracks, including 86 km of tunnels. Italy will build an additional 48 km of tracks including 38 km of tunnels. As France will be spending significantly more to link to the main tunnel than Italy, Italy is paying a larger share of the main tunnel. The entire project is 271 km long, with about 180 km of tunnels.
I will subscribe if you will start using metric system only.
Mountain heights in miles? Come on! International units please! And when you speak about a project in Europe in miles and feet nobody understands it. You should speak in kilometers and meters and for the Americans add the miles or feet in the subtext.
What for, to bring in more muslims?
Your video is verbaly correct but your images are way from being right. You are talking ofFrance and Italy but showing the railways of the UK on occasions. You need better research on the imagaes side. PS and the New York subway????
Sometimes, before watching a potentially interesting clip - especially if it is about something I am familiar with -, I check the comments first. And comments here convinced me that this is not a video I want to see - thank you, but no thank you
It's a great project - really worthwhile. But why the random video clips and so little on the forecast structure and level of the environmental and economic benefits?
Why are you expressing the cost in dollars? It should be in euros as both, Italy and France have euros as their currency.
It all sounds good but yes I agree. Change the name.
All these CO2 emissions seems to be pie in the sky values.
I believe Sydney can be connected to Melbourne via Canberra and Albury with overnight container Japanese SC container trains removing all trucks and planes on that route with 60 Chinese TBM in three years for less than au $100b with the Parrahub project.
The worlds gonna look like a hollowed out minecraft server soon
Is this a permitted project or just conjecture?
it's already 1/third built
At least it makes the journey for the immigrants shorter!
Wolę oglądać krajobrazy Alp, nie pojadę.
As far as I know, the railway tunnel is only for high-speed trains between major cities. So not for freight or local train networks. Therefore I consider 28 B$ to be an economic nonsense
Wrong. The project dubbed Transalpine Lyon-Turin is also for freight trains (similar to Eurotunnel)
The tunnel will have freight trains travelling at a Vmax of 120 km/h (with 160 km/h being possible in the future) and passenger trains at a Vmax of 220 km/h.
stupid project again just to get commission as usual >>>>
your argument was so convincing... i'm speechless
I reckon they should have contacted you first,to see if it was a stupid idea,maybe next time ,
We need to modernize the railways, but that won't take trucks off the road.
Il faut bien moderniser les voies ferrées, mais ça n'enlèvera pas les camions de la route.
C'est sûr, avoir une voie ferroviaire transportant jusqu'à 7 fois la quantité de marchandise pour 2x la vitesse de transport et 4x celle d'une traversée des alpes en camion, ça n'enlèvera aucun camion de la route. Surtout en transfrontalier, on parle pas de cabotage ni de livraison en point à point local là, mais du france italie et italie espagne voir italie hollande.
