Map with all coordinates: The Eichen-Diekenscheid tunnel is a 400 m long railway tunnel at route kilometer 96 of the high-speed line Cologne – Rhine / Main in the area of the Rhineland-Palatinate community of Nentershausen . It runs over a length of 400 m between the route kilometers 96.7 and 97.1.
course
The route runs in the direction of Frankfurt in a left curve, the gradient drops continuously.
The tunnel passes under the federal motorway 3 and the state roads L317 and L318. To the east of the tunnel, the Diez motorway junction is crossed in a framework structure.
The Wiesengrund valley bridge follows to the east and the Lange Issel tunnel to the west .
history
An incision was originally planned in the area of today's tunnel . Any forest in this area should be cut down. In the course of the planning approval procedure, a 400 m long tunnel was finally planned in order to protect the Nassau Nature Park at this point.
The tunnel is one of the central portion in the contract section B of the new line and was replaced by a working group established by six companies.
Tunneling began in mid-1999. 360 m were constructed using the mining method, 40 meters using the open construction method (according to another source: 160 m using the open construction method). The breakthrough was celebrated in early 2000. The structure was knocked through as the 21st of the 24 mined tunnels on the new line; in lot B it was the last. The advance proceeded without any special incidents.
The tunnel, along with the Dickheck tunnel , was one of the last two of eleven tunnels to be completed in the 43 km long section B.
The rails in the tunnel should be changed in the second half of 2014.
