While excavations for the Brenner
Tunnel continue, the Bavarian access route has suffered a
setback. CDU and CSU reject Deutsche Bahn's 54-kilometer route
between Munich and Kufstein, demanding a reworked project with
more tunnels and an underpass under the Inn River. This would
not only raise costs, but also lengthen construction times.
According to the Tiroler Tageszeitung, the tunnel should open in
2032, but the access route in Germany will not be completed
until after 2050 if Berlin does not give the go-ahead by 2025.
