Ciao a tutti!
Sono davvero curioso riguardo al proposto tunnel sottomarino tra Helsinki e Tallinn. Ci sono ancora progetti attivi per realizzarla oppure il progetto è stato completamente abbandonato?
Un collegamento diretto come questo sembra un enorme punto di svolta. Finalmente collegherebbe la Finlandia direttamente alla rete ferroviaria dell’Europa continentale (ponendo fine al "isola logistica" situazione) e rilanciare davvero l’economia attraverso una migliore logistica e turismo.
So che in passato c’erano visioni diverse al riguardo, come i piani ufficiali sostenuti dallo Stato rispetto al progetto finanziato privatamente da Peter Vesterbacka, ma è difficile dire dall’esterno cosa sta realmente accadendo in questo momento.
Cosa ne pensano i locali? È ancora un argomento di discussione seria in Finlandia, o adesso è per lo più visto come un sogno fantascientifico irrealistico? Mi piacerebbe sentire i tuoi pensieri!

Scifi dream.
People would not use it due to sea accidents.
I understood that vaasa umeå is happening before Helsinki Tallinn ever happens.
Vesterbacka is just somebody who says a lot and doesn’t do anything. He just puts himself in front of a camera and touts his bullshit. There is nothing there that would hint at a project.
I do not think this would solve the “logistical island” problmem because the Baltics are quite secluded as well.
We are already connected to mainland rail network trough Sweden.
I heard that Vesterbacka’s idea was to build it with in cooperation with China. It had sort of a Road and Belt vibes.
If I started digging and made a 3 m deep hole, the progress would be 3 m total.
Meanwhile Copenhagen is on course to have a direct train link to northern Germany within the next few years
I’m personally digging it right now I’m about halfway there
Running out of shovels though I’m on my last one and they break often 😔
It is merely an idea. The funds needed for it is just too much, and if it was decided today, that it should be built, construction wouldn’t start before maybe 2035 and it wouldn’t be opened until 2045. And that’s being optimistic about it.
You can also get over the pond in 2 h with your car using the ferry, so what’s the point?
I think no one believes the budget estimates. In Denmark they are already building an 18 km tunnel to Germany with a price tag of 7.4 billion €.
Somehow the project people tell us that building a 85-103 km tunnel from Helsinki to Tallinn will cost only around 15 billion €.
They just want to get the project started and then leech the ‘unexpected’ additional 15-30 billion from taxpayers pockets.
It was just a idea thrown around by few “businessmen”. I thinks its cool but not worth it.
Situation is at the picture. 🫣
I would be incredibly surprised if it ever happened, let alone in the near future.
It’s down under
