France Is Building A $28 Billion Tunnel To Italy Through The Alps Turin Lyon Railway
France and Italy rank as each other's secondlargest trading partners, with trade between them amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Thus, establishing a highquality transport link is economically vital. However, the Alps Mountain range, stretching across the entire FrancoItalian border and reaching elevations of up to 3 miles above sea level, poses a significant challenge to achieving this transport goal. But in a bold endeavour to connect the two nations, France and Italy are now undertaking the construction of a $28 billion railway through the Alps. Today, we will explore the new TurinLyon Railway, examining the scope of its construction, its distinctive features, and its positive and negative impacts.
