Fehmarnbelt tunnel's sister projects
In 2009, the Danish parliament and the German Bundestag ratified the State treaty between Denmark and Germany, which forms the basis for the establishment of the Fehmarnbelt link. In addition to the 18 km long tunnel, the project also provides connections to the rail and road network on the Danish and German sides.
