Fehmarn Belt Tunnel, Transport tunnel between Lolland and Fehmarn, Germany.
The Fehmarn Belt Tunnel is an infrastructure project linking the Danish island of Lolland and the German island of Fehmarn, stretching roughly 18 kilometers beneath the water. It includes separate tubes for road traffic and railways, built by placing large prefabricated sections on the sea floor.
The first proposals for a fixed link across the water between Hamburg and Copenhagen appeared in the 19th century. Official construction of the tunnel began in 2021 after years of preparation and international negotiations.
The tunnel project strengthens the connection between Central Europe and Scandinavia, creating new opportunities for cross-border cooperation and regional development.
Construction is progressing on schedule with an expected opening in 2029, which will replace the current ferry service between the islands. Visitors can follow construction updates online, while multiple production lines simultaneously work on tunnel elements.
A sealed time capsule containing messages and items for future generations lies inside one of the tunnel sections. The factory on Lolland uses robotic technology to weld steel rods, a method rarely applied at this scale before.

Everywhere, in deserts, along coasts, and in city centers, new building projects change how cities grow and work. Some build tall towers that change the view, others create whole neighborhoods from scratch. Each project shows different ways of thinking about design, technology, and how people live together. In Saudi Arabia, The Line offers a city without cars that runs through the desert, Trojena gives mountain skiing, and Sindalah builds a new island in the Red Sea. In Dubai, buildings like One Za’abeel, where two towers connect with a hanging bridge, or Dubai Creek Tower that switches the look along the water. In Paris, the Tour Triangle, a glass pyramid in the south, shows how the city considers height and space. These projects are of different sizes and purposes. There are large factories like Oxagon that work on the water, and places to live or work in Jeddah, Zhuhai, and elsewhere. Some are already being built, with the bases and structure going up, others are waiting for permission or funds. Each project aims to meet local needs, whether for more homes, attracting visitors, or trying new ways to build that care for the environment. Together, they show how architects and city planners think about the links between buildings, roads, and daily life around the world.
