Let the vagina jokes commence

Swiss engineer Carl Eduard Gruner first imagined it in 1947: a massive tunnel, unprecedented in length, buried a mile and a half under Switzerland's symbolic Gotthard mountain range.
Nearly seven decades later, after redesigns, political disagreements and the long, slow work of drilling beneath the Gotthard massif, as it's called, Gruner's dream is complete.

Dancers performed at its opening?
Hell, I thought that was a scene from the new Ghostbusters.

With a B. I bet the ROI makes total sense. Thanks, socialism.

Ah, here it is...
Only $267 million per minute saved.

The high-speed rail running through the tunnel will make the train trip between Zurich and Milan about 45 minutes shorter, cutting it to 2 1/2 hours.

I mean saving 45 minutes on a 3 hour trip is a pretty big deal. A 38-mile long tunnel is impressive for that amount of money. We could have had 12 fighter jets for the same price.

In the mid 70's, I drove through the Sonnenberg tunnel. It was very interesting. So maybe there is a secondary purpose behind the tunnel.

Based on a federal law from 1963, Switzerland aims to provide nuclear fallout shelters for the entire population of the country. The construction of a new tunnel near an urban centre was seen as an opportunity to provide shelter space for a large number of people at the same time. The installations that allowed the tunnel to be converted into a fallout shelter cost around $32.5 million, of which approximately $5 million were borne by the municipality of Lucerne. The shelter consisted of the two motorway tunnels (one per direction of travel), each capable of holding 10,000 people in 64 person subdivisions. A seven story cavern between the tunnels contained shelter infrastructure including a command post, an emergency hospital, and a radio studio. The shelter was designed to withstand the blast from a 1 megaton nuclear explosion 1 kilometre away. The blast doors at the tunnel portals are 1.5 meters thick and weigh 350 tons.
