The route of the tunnel runs in a north-south direction. The cover is up to 120 m.

history

planning

A structure with a length of 1493 m was planned as early as 1996.

The tunnel is part of the planning approval section 3220 of the new line and is located between construction kilometers 64.634 and 66.127. The construction of this section, including the Brandkopf tunnel, was awarded to a consortium of Bilfinger Berger Ingenieurbau , Max Bögl and Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau at the end of May 2009 . For an emergency exit at kilometer 148.568, there is a 404.6 m long drivable window tunnel with a ten percent gradient that leads to the rescue area. As an additional access to the south portal, the Wohlrosetalbrücke is accessible for rescue vehicles.

construction

The tunnel was inaugurated on 26 November 2009 struck . The tunnel sponsorship was taken over by Beate Misch, chairwoman of the administrative association Langer Berg .

The excavated material was used to fill the remaining open pit Thiemtal ( 50 ° 38 ′ 48 ″  N , 10 ° 56 ′ 27 ″  E ) in the west of the Schobsegrund , in which fluorite was previously extracted.

The breakthrough was celebrated on October 1, 2010. A year later, the inner tunnel shell was completed.

Around 60 million euros will be invested in the building.

Slab track test construction

In the vicinity of the northern tunnel portal, a slab section of slab track, as it occurs in a bridge joint (at the transition between two superstructures), was set up for investigations in the summer of 2017.
