Inauguration of the First Element for the Fehmarnbelt Link
June 17 was a historic day for the construction of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel. That is when His Majesty King Frederik X of Denmark officially inaugurated the first tunnel element in what will be the world’s longest immersed tunnel. Among the participants at the inauguration was Minister of Transport Thomas Danielsen, representatives of the client Femern A/S, the main contractor Femern Link Contractors (FLC) and apprentices working on the project. Construction of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel formally began at the beginning of 2021 east of Rødbyhavn. Just over 3 years later, the world’s largest and most advanced production facility for concrete elements has been built, where the 217-m-long and 73,500-t elements for the tunnel will be produced. The Fehmarnbelt tunnel is very much a project that reaches far into the future. Social clauses have been included in the construction contracts that ensure that hundreds of apprentices will get their education as part of the project. At the inauguration, a memorial plaque was also unveiled, which will be set up in the finished tunnel. Also, a time capsule was revealed, where guests at the ceremony and in the project’s exhibition center in Rødbyhavn have had the opportunity to place a small object or a greeting to the future. It will now be sealed and buried near the entrance of the tunnel as a greeting to future generations.

"Today is visible proof of how far we have come. Just as this project builds on the experience from the Great Belt and Øresund, the Fehmarnbelt tunnel will show the way for many other major projects in Denmark and in the rest of the world," said Mikkel Hemmingsen, CEO of Sund & Bælt, which is the Danish state-owned enterprise tasked with building the Fehmarnbelt tunnel.
