Infopoints
Do you have specific questions or are you simply interested in general information on the Brenner Base Tunnel? Come visit us at our infopoints in Fortezza or Innsbruck. We look forward to explaining the project and giving information on topics such as environmental protection, traffic policy or geology. Wall charts, models and videos show the tunnel route, provide information on the geological makeup of the rock mass and show the current status of the construction work.
Infopoint in Innsbruck
Opening hours:
Monday to Friday: 09.00 – 13.00 and 2.00 – 6.00 pm
The Infopoint is closed on bank holidays.
The Infopoint at Innsbruck central station opened in January 2010. Since then there has been a considerable flow of visitors, both local and part of the stream of travellers. There were 20,000 visitors to the exhibition in the first year alone. Highlights are a satellite image overlaid with the tunnel route which shows the layout of the project, and a geological cross-section with rock samples for hands-on study. A recent addition is the model of a tunnel boring machine used in the construction of the Gotthard base tunnel in Switzerland.

The Observatory for the Environment and Workplace Safety is in charge of the Infopoint at the railway station in Fortezza. The main task of the Observatory is to oversee the construction work in Italy as regards compliance with quality criteria for environmental protection and safety in the workplace.
The Infopoint in Fortezza was opened in November of 2007. Besides providing information on the project, it is also the starting point for tours of the construction site in Mules.
