Helsinki to Tallinn Tunnel
The Helsinki to Tallinn Tunnel is a proposed undersea tunnel that would span the Gulf of Finland and connect the Finnish and Estonian capitals while bypassing Russia.〔Mike Collier. "(Helsinki mayor still believes in Tallinn tunnel )", ''The Baltic Times'', April 3, 2008. Retrieved on 2008-05-13.〕 The tunnel's length would depend upon the route taken; the shortest distance across would have a submarine length of 50 km, making it the longest undersea tunnel in the world. The tunnel could open after 2030 by earliest and would cost an estimated €9–13 billion.
==Project status==
The project is largely being pushed forward by the mayors of Tallinn and Helsinki, Edgar Savisaar and Jussi Pajunen respectively. Both cities have promised €100,000 for preparatory studies, though the relevant ministries of each country have refused to grant any funding. An application is now planned to the EU to gain the additional funds needed for a comprehensive survey, estimated to cost between €500,000 and €800,000.〔"(Helsinki-Tallinn Rail Tunnel Link? )", ''YLE News'', 28 March 2008. Retrieved on 2008-05-13.〕 On 13 January 2009, newspaper reports suggested the application to the EU, through the Interreg programme, for comprehensive surveys had been denied. An expert at the City of Helsinki's International Affairs department suggested this may have been because of political tension within Estonia, between the national administration and the City of Tallinn, both controlled by rival political groups. Nevertheless, both cities are said to be considering funding the surveys themselves.〔http://www.hs.fi/english/article/No+EU+funding+forthcoming+for+Helsinki-Tallinn+train+tunnel/1135242694866〕
On April 2, 2014, it was announced that a €100,000 preparatory survey named TalsinkiFix will assess whether a more comprehensive profitability calculation should be done. The European Union will cover 85 per cent of the survey costs and the cities of Helsinki and Tallinn and the Harju County will pay the rest. This is the first official survey about the tunnel.
The results of the preparatory survey were released in February 2015.〔(Pre-feasibility study of Helsinki–Tallinn fixed link ) (Sweco, february 2015)〕 The cost of the tunnel was estimated to be €9–13 billion and the tunnel could open at earliest after 2030. The survey recommended the tunnel to be built for railway connections only with the traveling time between Helsinki and Tallinn being half an hour by train.
