Work has started on the Pfaffensteigtunnel, a new railway tunnel of about eleven kilometres that will serve Stuttgart Airport, with the project budgeted at 1.69 billion euros in the federal budget.
The tunnel is expected to cut travel time between Stuttgart and Zürich by roughly fifteen minutes, with trains scheduled to use it from 2033, and tunnel boring machines are planned for commissioning in summer 2027.
