After the construction project in 2008 had been published all over Europe, in June 2009 the building works for the tunnel through the Silberberg Mountain began. The tunnel has a length of 7391 meters and is part of the project Nuremberg-Ebensfeld-Erfurt-Leipzig/Halle-Berlin. It will be the second longest tunnel of this line after the Blessberg tunnel.

The joint venture of “Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG”, “Bilfinger + Berger Ingenieurbau AG”, “Max Bögl Bauunternehmung GmbH” and “Bickhardt Bau AG” have been chosen for the completion of this project. The tunnel is being created by blast heading, but not as usual from the tunnel portals on, but within two drifts that later on will be used as emergency exits.

 

Facts and figures:

  • Tunnel length: 7391 meter
  • Duration of the project: 2009 – 2013 (planned)
  • Total project volume: 264 Mio. Euro
