In Switzerland, a 21 mile long tunnel through the Alps was opened today that will cut down travel times between Germany and Italy from 3 1/2 hours to just under two using a 150 mph train. A 36 mile long tunnel under the Alps is expected to open 2017. The tunnels and high-speed trains are expected to reduce traffic on congested highways.
