The Lange Issel tunnel is a 1015 m long railway tunnel on the high-speed line Cologne – Rhine / Main . It is located south of the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Nentershausen .

course

The "Lange Issel" tunnel follows the depression shown in the picture. It is the only tunnel on the route that lies directly on such a change in slope, depression and incline.

The route runs straight in the tunnel.

In the tunnel, the route crosses under the federal motorway 3 as well as the state roads 317 and 318. In addition, the Diez junction will be crossed under a separate structure near the east portal .

The gradient drops continuously in the tunnel towards Frankfurt am Main. In the area of ​​the east portal there is a turning point of the high band from which the route rises.

After each section of the open road, the Eichen-Diekenscheid tunnel follows to the west and the Elzer Berg tunnel to the east .

history

At the end of 1995, the planned length of the structure was 1015 m. At this point in time, the regional planning procedure was completed.

Construction work officially began on June 9, 1999. The tunnel was the last tube under construction in section B of the new line. Ursula Greiser, the wife of the local mayor of Nentershausen, Hans-Jürgen Greiser, acted as tunnel sponsor. More than a thousand citizens accepted the invitation to take a look inside the tunnel structure on the sidelines of the celebrations for the construction of the tunnel.

Most of the structure was constructed using the mining method, only the underpass of the L 318 state road was constructed using the open construction method.

The rails in the tunnel should be changed in the second half of 2014.
