The new Lyon-Turin line is a major infrastructure project in the trans-European transport network connecting France and Italy. This high-speed and freight rail line aims to increase the capacity and efficiency of cross-border rail transport and reduce CO₂ emissions by shifting freight transport from road to rail. A central component of the Lyon-Turin line is the base tunnel through the Mont Cenis mountain. The Mont Cenis Base Tunnel, also known as the Mont Cenis Tunnel, will be the longest tunnel in the world when completed, with a length of 57.5 kilometers. This record will replace the current longest tunnel, the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland, which is 57.1 kilometers long. #construction #architecture #tunnel 00:00 Intro 00:52 Lyon Turin route 01:12 History Frejus Tunnel 01:50 Outdated standards 02:29 Trans-European transport network 03:04 Mont Cenis Base Tunnel 03:20 Longest tunnel in the world 03:50 Inside the tunnel 04:27 Route division 04:39 Construction companies 04:52 Financing of the route 05:12 Environmental benefits 05:29 Time savings 05:44 Construction technology and methods 06:33 Exploration tunnel 06:51 Progress 07:38 Tunnel boring machine TBM 08:00 Ventilation shafts 08:40 Raise - boring machine 08:54 Resistance and protests
