Grimsel Tunnel

As of 2016[update], it was planned to run under the Grimsel Pass and link the Zentralbahn at the north end with the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn at the south, and its construction is scheduled to begin in 2027.

[4] The total length of the new Grimsel Line (German: Grimselbahn) route containing the tunnel would be 21.75 kilometres (13.51 mi).

[5] It would link two groups of existing railway lines constructed to one-metre track gauge in Switzerland, forming a contiguous route of 844 kilometres (524 mi).

Travel time between Meiringen and Oberwald would be approximately 38 minutes—a reduction of three hours.

[7] A company called Grimselbahn AG was founded by the promoters, with Peter Teuscher as its chair person.
