On 26th September, everyone is invited to the Isarco Underpass construction site near Fortezza. Starting from here, you can visit all the Italian construction sites of the Brenner Base Tunnel and find out all the latest news about the project. There is a major new addition this year: visitors will also have the opportunity to visit the RFI 'Forch' construction site on the southern access route.
The Open Tunnel Day is a regular event held every year by the Brenner Base Tunnel company, to meet people living in the project area and beyond. Last year, the event was held at the Sillschlucht, or Sill Gorge (formerly the H21 “Sill Gorge” construction site) near Innsbruck and was a great success.
This year, the event returns to Italy!
Exciting new developments await visitors exploring the construction sites on September 26th: three cross-border tunnels now connect Italy and Austria, and the western main tunnel has now been fully completed from Innsbruck to Fortezza – but that’s not all! Guided tours of the Mules construction site will give visitors the chance to see the work in progress at the largest site of the entire BBT project.
Finally, visitors will also have the opportunity to visit the RFI 'Forch' construction site on the southern access route.
These are just a few of the new developments we have in store for you... 26 September will be a day for everyone, with opportunities for learning and fun for all ages.
There will be an exclusive immersive-reality show for our younger guests, as well as many other games (bouncy castles, wooden toys, face-painting, etc.)
The event site is not accessible to personal vehicles and parking is forbidden in the area. For this reason, we advise travelling to the Fortezza railway station via public transportation. From there you are welcome to use our shuttle bus service.
