short-term hopes now rest with Andrä Rupprechter, the Federal Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management, who hails from Tirol and attended the COP21 summit and is well-placed to implement new measures. A longer-term solution may prove to be the Brenner Base railway tunnel. The new connection is intended to relieve traffic congestion, although it is only slated to open in 2025.
The tunnel will make up a section of the 2,200 km long Berlin-Palermo axis, a part of the EU-promoted Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T). The 55 km long tunnel will, when opened, be the second-longest railway tunnel in the world. Until then, the Alpine communities that are plagued by heavy traffic, and the pollution that comes with it, will have to suffer a while longer.
