Brenner Tunnel: media, potential budget cut in Austria
Platter, this would delay the end of the work

(ANSA) - BOLZANO/BOZEN - Spending review in Austria's
transport sector could have long-term repercussions on the
Brenner tunnel. According to the Tiroler Tageszeitung, a 100
million euro cut to the budget could be made.
However, the ministry denied that intention. Due to delays in
the work - they said - this amount will simply not be spent this
year but at a later time.
Tirol Land's governor Guenther Platter fears further delays
in the event of a funding cut and underlines that the project
has already been reduced by 450 million euros. The works for the
Brenner tunnel should be completed in 2026. Eighty of the 230
kilometers of tunnels have already been completed and another 20
km will be added this year, the Dolomiten newspaper reported.
