What is the Gotthard Base Tunnel?

Switzerland's gotthard base tunnelexternal link is the world's longest (and deepest) railway tunnel. Opened in 2016 after 17 years of construction, it consists of two 57.1km single-track tunnels for freight trains and passenger trains connecting Erstfeld in canton Uri with Bodio in canton Ticino.

Don't confuse it with the Gotthard Tunnel (a 15km railway tunnel opened in 1882) or the Gotthard Road Tunnel (16.9km, opened in 1980, infamfor massive traffic jams). Or Gotthard, one of Switzerland's most successful rock bands.
