Reference report Albula Tunnel construction project

The Albula Tunnel, a major infrastructure project of the Rhaetian Railway in Switzerland, connects Tiefencastel and Preda and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina Landscape." After more than 100 years of operation, the original tunnel was replaced by a modern, safety- and environmentally optimized tunnel.
The new tunnel ensures improved traffic safety and capacity while minimizing negative environmental impacts. Delivery was made by rail, as truck use was not possible due to winter road closures.
