Map with all coordinates: The Rosshäusertunnel is a double-track railway tunnel on the Bern – Neuchâtel line in Switzerland . It was built in connection with the expansion of the line to double lane parallel to an old tunnel that was about half as long and could not be expanded and was inaugurated in August 2018. The single-lane old tunnel was taken out of service, but not removed, only closed with gates. The length of the new tunnel is 1910 meters and it can be driven at speeds of up to 160 km / h (old tunnel: 90 km / h).

On June 2, 2015, the dome breached 181 m west of the center of the tunnel. The opening took place on August 25, 2018.
