Concrete being laid for the B33 tunnel at Hegne
The construction of a new tunnel on the B33 federal road in the Konstanz district, Hegne, is progressing as planned, according to project manager Bettina Woolley. The preliminary planning for this tunnel project has already been completed, with the government presidency of Freiburg announcing its completion.
Despite challenging soil conditions, including swampy ground, the project team has made significant strides. To address the difficult terrain, massive amounts of earth have been piled up to dewater the soil and squeeze out water before construction began.
The tunnel ceiling will serve as a storage area during the construction process, accommodating construction signs and materials. This design choice offers several advantages, including being weather-independent, allowing work to continue uninterrupted regardless of the conditions above ground.
The tunnel ceiling construction will commence first, with no specific timeline for the completion of the tunnel construction provided as of yet. The extraction of earth from the tunnel site is ongoing, and the construction work is currently on schedule.
While no new information regarding the timeline for the completion of the construction work has been provided, the expected completion date for the B33 tunnel project in Hegne is 2034. For more details about the project timeline, scope, or current progress, please feel free to ask!
In the ongoing construction of the B33 tunnel in Hegne, the project manager Bettina Woolley highlights the importance of the industry sector, especially finance, in funding the project. This significant infrastructure development also has implications for the transportation sector, as the tunnel will improve roads and reduce traffic congestion.
