Chestenberg tunnel
The Chestenberg tunnel was a planned railway tunnel in the canton of Aargau . It was planned in one of several variants as part of the future development of the railway infrastructure expansion program and would have run from Rupperswil to Gruemet (at the west portal of the Heitersberg tunnel ). It would be named after the Chestenberg .
The Chestenberg tunnel , together with the Eppenberg tunnel and the Honerettunnel, would be the prerequisite for a quarter of an hour between Aarau and Zurich ; also for a half-hourly interregional connection between Basel and Zurich, as well as for the half-hourly service of the Zurich S-Bahn line S3 .
The implementation of the project would have been expected between 2015 and 2030. In the structure plan of the canton of Aargau, two variants of the line layout were provided. However, in a variant expansion on March 1, 2016, the project was no longer pursued in favor of a 30 km long continuous tunnel between Aarau and Zurich .
