Despite being bordering countries, there arent many direct routes between Denmark and Germany.
To ameliorate this, the two countries have embarked upon an ambitious collaboration: theFehmarnbelt tunnel.
Tunnel construction began in 2020 on Denmarks side, while Germany began a year later in 2021.

The sheer scale of these various pieces demands an equally massive factory.
There, they will be meticulously lowered into the pre-dug trenches.
It must work the first time.
We will not compromise on quality and safety.
That is why we are taking the necessary time to ensure that we are perfectly prepared.
Last month, the first two elements of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel werepulled a short distancetoward the work harbor.
Currently, the construction crew is preparing for the immersion of the first element off the Danish coast.
