Renovation of the Lötschberg summit tunnel
Kandersteg, Switzerland
From mid-2018, Marti renewed the track in the Lötschberg summit tunnel between Kandersteg and Goppenstein for BLS. Among other things, Marti Tunnel Ltd. replaced the old ballasted track with a modern concrete track. We employed innovative methods, such as specially built shuttle trains and a monorail anchored in the tunnel’s vault.
