Tunnel development set for Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany

The German state of Bavaria will invest around €35 million in a road tunnel under the Englischer Garten in Munich. The city of Munich will have to find the rest of the expected €125 million construction cost for the 380m tunnel that will replace a motorway that splits the park. German media reports say that city authorities will look toward some form of private sponsorship for tunnel that would likely be a cut and cover design that would follow closely the current alignment of the highway.

Highway construction improved greatly in the late 1950s and early 1960s as the American contractors became more mechanized and therefore efficient at laying roads faster and of better quality.
