BC, Tallinn, 04.01.2018.
A study on the profitability, cost and possible route of
the Tallinn-Helsinki tunnel is to be completed at the beginning of February
2018, the Aktuaalne Kaamera newscast of the public broadcaster ERR reports,
cites LETA/BNS.
Estonian Prime Minister Juri Ratas said in an interview to
ERR that he is to meet with his Finnish colleague Juha Sipila in a couple of
weeks to discuss the tunnel.
According to Ratas, Estonian and Finnish governments are to
start really handling the topic of the tunnel.
"We will meet with the Finnish prime minister and
discuss the real capacity of and the need for the tunnel. This tunnel would
join Rail Baltic and the Finnish railway, and would add a lot to the economic
environment," Ratas said in the interview.
Sipila's advisor Riikka Pakarinen told the newscast that
the heads of government are to meet this spring, after the tunnel study is
published.
The results of the first stage project are to be published
on Feb. 7.
The Tallinn-Helsinki tunnel would be an underwater construction
with a length of 90 kilometers. A train would reach from one capital city to
another in about half an hour.
