The Arlberg Tunnel is the most important traffic artery between Tyrol and Vorarlberg. The months-long renovation work has been completed just in time for the start of winter. A look at the mega project and its effects.

Relief resonates in the voice of project manager Tobias Wolf from the highway company Asfinag. The schedule for a mega construction site is holding. For two years, the Arlberg Tunnel was closed for months over the summer, this year since April 15th. But next Friday (November 22) - just in time for the start of winter - it will be over.
