Kruiner Tunnel, Combined railway and road tunnel in Gevelsberg, Germany
The Kruiner Tunnel extends 89 meters through an embankment of the Elberfeld-Dortmund railway line, south of Gevelsberg city center near Ennepetal.
Construction began in 1882 after extensive earth excavation from Martfeld near Schwelm, requiring 500,000 cubic meters of material transported by workers using wheelbarrows.
The tunnel represents 19th-century German engineering excellence, combining railway and road traffic solutions in a single structure that serves multiple transportation needs.
Modern traffic management includes signals that stop vehicles during train passages, while the tunnel accommodates both the Ennepetalbahn railway and state road L700.
The tunnel features a specialized roadway surface added in 1992 that allows full two-lane vehicle passage while maintaining active railway operations above.
