ATTACK CELEBRATION SCHEMMELSBERG TUNNEL B93

The offi­cial ground­brea­king cerem­ony for the Schem­mels­berg Tun­nel pro­ject on the B39 in Weins­berg near Heil­bronn took place on March 1, 2024. Tra­di­tio­nally, this included the bles­sing of the tun­nel before acti­vi­ties com­mence and the han­do­ver of the tun­nel spon­sor­ship. This was cere­mo­niously accepted by the local dis­trict pre­si­dent Susanne Bay. Our tun­nel spon­sor was also able to use the chisel on the stop wall and herald the start of dri­ving the 414 m long res­cue tun­nel. Around 60 peo­ple took part in the cerem­ony. Mr. Kiche­rer, as a repre­sen­ta­tive of the con­sor­tium and a long-estab­lished tun­nel buil­der, also had the oppor­tu­nity to take the lec­tern and wish ever­yone invol­ved every suc­cess for the upco­ming work. 

Since then, our drive has been in full swing. The drive has alre­ady pro­gres­sed almost 47 m. Approx. 158 m still lie ahead of us before the first cross-pas­sage can be dri­ven. The con­s­truc­tion of the first cross-pas­sage, as a con­nec­tion to the main tube of the exis­ting road tun­nel, which is still in ope­ra­tion, is neces­sary for safety reasons. This ensu­res an addi­tio­nal escape route in the event of an acci­dent. After brea­king through the first cross-pas­sage, dri­ving will con­ti­nue in the actual res­cue tunnel.
