- Abstract
The paper describes the construction of the Spitzenberg tunnel, a new motorway tunnel in Germany, the federal state of Hessen. The tunnel is located on the A44 motorway being newly built, which will connect the cities of Kassel and Eisenach. The approximately 60km long motorway section in question, with respect to the terrain morphology and the horizontal alignment of the route leading out of villages, is a de facto set of tunnel and bridge structures at the total cost of ca 1800 million euros. The construction of the Spitzenberg tunnel itself comprises two double-lane tunnel tubes nearly 600m long (inclusive of cut-and-cover parts) and a ca 500m long adjacent section including a deep cutting into Lerchenberg hill. The tunnels are being constructed using the NATM; the application of blasting is expected for ca 70-80% of the tunnel lengths.
