The establishment of a new viewpoint - Pilen (The Arrow) - over the construction of the Fehmarn Belt tunnel was launched on 11th January 24, with the groundbreaking ceremony by Mayor Holger Schou Rasmussen, Lolland Municipality and CEO Mikkel Hemmingsen, Sund & Bælt, Femern A/S announces.
Unique front row view
The Arrow will be located on reclaimed land a few hundred metres from where the first tunnel element will be sunk into place and where traffic will enter the tunnel in the future. This will give visitors to the area a unique front row view of the extensive tunnel construction.
An experience in itself
The Arrow will be a ramp that gradually rises 217 metre upwards, which is the same length as a tunnel element, ending in a head pointing towards Germany.
The highest point of the ramp will be 24 metres above the surrounding landscape.
From The Arrow, visitors will be able to follow the floating departure of the tunnel elements, as well as following the construction of the tunnel portal and the future road and railway connection into the countryside.
The project also includes a new ramp and access path from the nearby car park on Gl. Badevej in Rødbyhavn.
In addition to giving visitors a better view of the work on the 18-kilometre-long immersed tunnel, a visit to The Arrow will be an experience in itself.
Aarsleff A/S is the entrepreneur working on the establishment of The Arrow, that is expected to be open to visitors at the beginning of 2025.
