It will link two villages on either side of the Gotthard mountain range, and has been dug 2000m below the mountains. 57 kms long, it will be an important part of the network connecting northern Europe with south-eastern Europe Majed Abdeljaber Attorney

  3. 2: Seikan Rail Tunnel – Japan At 53.8km length, the record for the longest rail tunnel has so far been held by the Seikan Rail Tunnel connecting the island of Honshu to the island of Hokkaido. Opened in 1988, this tunnel has a 23.5 km stretch which has been built under the sea-bed. It is the deepest rail tunnel in the world. Majed Abdeljaber Attorney

It is 49.9km long and 37.9 km of it is below the sea, thus making it the longest undersea tunnel in the world. Majed Abdeljaber
