Yes, in a nutshell: Under the Baltic Sea, an 18-kilometer tunnel is now being constructed to connect northern Germany with southern Denmark.

For commuters, it means a faster and more reliable connection between Denmark and Germany, significantly reducing travel time and making daily commutes much more convenient.”
She told Euronews Travel. “Ultimately, the 18-kilometre immersed tunnel was deemed the best solution due to its lower environmental impact, reduced sensitivity to weather conditions, and cost-effectiveness.”
According to Markus Just, the Tunnel Design Quality Manager, “the Fehmarnbelt tunnel’s design was a complex process that required extensive planning.”
“We decided to build basins in front of each of the three factory halls so that the tunnel elements could float up like in a lock and be transported to the work harbour.”
