The new transport hub for Baden-Württemberg is becoming increasingly round: For almost three years, Deutsche Bahn has been building the connection between the airport and the long-distance and regional train network as part of Stuttgart 21. Among other things, more than four kilometers of tunnel tubes, the adjoining troughs and the shaft structures for the two entrances to the new long-distance train station under the state exhibition center were created within a very short time. This video shows what construction crews have done underground so far... #deutschebahn #stuttgart21 #construction ▬ More information ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Deutsche Bahn's comprehensive information platform about the Stuttgart–Ulm railway project: http://www.bahnprojekt-stuttgart-ulm.de/ ▬ What is the railway project ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The Stuttgart–Ulm railway project includes the reorganization of the Stuttgart railway junction (Stuttgart 21) and the new Wendlingen–Ulm line.
