Geneva - Switzerland tunnel sliding
Insertion of 630-ton bicycle/pedestrian tunnel over 46m, under the railway, in Geneva, Switzerland.
Project details
In order to realise the new cycle and pedestrian tunnel under the railway in Quartier l’Etang, we have moved this tunnel from the pre-construction location to its final position. This work took place during a 54-hour out-of-service period, which prevented long-term disruption to the railways.
