Poland-Germany tunnel project planned

A new road tunnel is planned to connect Poland’s Wollin Island with Usedom Island in Germany. The project is expected to cost €225 million. The project was originally intended to be built by an Italian contractor, however an Austrian firm now looks likely to build the link. The tunnel plans call for a 1.4km link to be constructed using a TBM. The tunnel would replace the ferry service operating at present, improving transport connections for the northern Polish city of Swinoujscie.
