Approval has been given for a new road tunnel project that will run through the centre of Munich, the capital of state of Bavaria in South Germany. The project will see the construction of a 400m stretch of tunnel carrying four lanes of traffic. This new route will run underneath the Englischer Garten, a public park in the centre of the city. The new tunnel will replace a stretch of road at Isarring. The project is expected to cost €125 million in all, with the Bavarian State Government putting forward €35 million and the German Federal Government investing €2.67 million. The bulk of the financing needed for the project will be from the private sector, with the work due for completion by 2027.
