The Scheibengipfeltunnel is a two-lane road tunnel on the outskirts of Reutlingen in Baden-Württemberg . The 1910-meter-long tunnel makes it possible to cross under the disk summit between the Sondelfingen district and the former southern train station on the boundary of Eningen .
The groundbreaking for the construction of the roads leading to it took place on August 18, 2009, and the tunnel itself was built from October 2012 to October 2017. The breakthrough in the main tunnel was made on January 27, 2014. Of the 1910 meters, 1620 meters were built using mining techniques, the rest using open construction.
The plans for the tunnel go back to 1967. Before it was included in the five-year plan for the allocation of funds for the construction of federal roads, it was critically asserted that the expected relief effect for Reutlingen's city center was low and that the new construction of the access roads would cut up the local recreation area at the Achalm.
With the commissioning on October 27, 2017, it will replace the previous route of the federal highways B 312 and B 313 . The tunnel reduces traffic through Reutlingen city center by an estimated 20,000 vehicles a day. The traffic volume there in 2009 was 65,000 vehicles per day. The costs for the entire bypass are expected to be around EUR 130 to 135 million, of which around EUR 83 million will be for tunnel construction. The accompanying measures that are required so that the Scheibengipfeltunnel unfolds its relief effect for Reutlingen's city center, especially on the heavily used Lederstraße, have mostly not yet been planned or implemented.
The northern extension of the Scheibengipfeltunnel would gain special importance for traffic between Stuttgart and the Swabian Alb through the implementation of the Dietweg route , which would lead it completely past Reutlingen between north and south-east.
