Description:

Finland and Estonia are planning one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Europe: a tunnel connecting Helsinki and Tallinn! 🌍🚆 This undersea rail link will span the Gulf of Finland, drastically reducing travel time between the two capitals and integrating Finland into the Rail Baltica network. 🇫🇮🇪🇪 The project, estimated to cost €20 billion, will enhance regional connectivity and bolster NATO’s eastern flank. But how feasible is it? And what challenges lie ahead? Watch to find out! 👀✨

Transcript:

Finland and Estonia are planning the construction of a tunnel that will link their capitals: Helsinki and Tallinn. The two countries are separated by the Gulf of Finland which is actually very shallow with an average depth of just 38 meters. At it’s narrowest point, the Gulf of Finland is just 50 kilometers wide.
The rail line in the tunnel will have 4 main stations. The tiny finish island of Uppoluoto will be extended and the shallow Estonian riff of tallinnamadal will be transformed in an island.
The purpose of this project is to shorten the time between Helsinki and Tallinn with one and a half hours and to also connect Finland to the Railbaltica, the 870 kilometers long railway connecting the Baltic states with Poland and the rest of Europe. This will help NATO to secure it’s eastern flank against the Russian threat. The estimated cost of this tunnel is 20 billion euros, but as both countries are EU members, a part of it will be subsidized by the European Union.
