WHAT IS TO SEE?
Two construction sites, one big event!
In the outdoor area of the Sill Gorge, you can take a closer look at the work completed in 2024 on the Sill Gorge construction site and the north portal of the BBT!

Through a walking route inside the north portal, you can then reach the adjacent H41 Sill-Pfons Gorge construction site and see the latest work progress up close. 

Here, an immersive reality show awaits to give you an all-round and up-close experience of the BBT project! 

There are two routes in the tunnel:
a shorter route, about 800 metres long
a longer route, approximately 1.1 km long

Both routes are flat and suitable for adults and children. However, as this is a construction site area, please exercise caution, wear suitable sturdy shoes and do not leave the marked areas.

If you have any further questions about the event, please email publicrelations@bbt-se.com

See you at the Open Tunnel Day!
