The Oberhaider-Wald-Tunnel (in the planning and construction phase also Deesener-Wald-Tunnel ) is a 1270 m long railway tunnel on the high-speed line Cologne – Rhine / Main . It crosses under the Deesen forest , near the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Oberhaid , and therefore bears its name.

course

In the tunnel, the high-speed line passes under a ridge over a length of 1,270 m. The route moves away from the federal motorway 3 and reaches a parallel position with the trunk road again not far from the north portal. The south portal is followed by an incision . The route describes a left curve in a southerly direction. The gradient rises.

The north portal is at km 78.2, the south portal at km 79.5. An emergency exit leads Deesener forest at 50 ° 30 '8.9 " N , 7 ° 43' 18" O to the surface. 50.502483333333 7.7216666666667

Rescue areas have been created at both portals and the emergency exit in Deesener Wald.

history

The tunnel is part of the middle section in Lot B of the new line and was built by a consortium of six companies.

At the end of 1995, the planned length of the structure was 1270 m.

Most of the tube was built using mining techniques.

Part of the tunnel excavation was used by several local schools.
