The crossing of the St. Gotthard massif has always been a challenge to connect the northern and southern Europe. The kilometric traffic jams at tunnel entrances remind the traveler to cross the mountain was always takes a lot of patience.
The rail tunnel opened in 1882, claimed the lives of 177 workers, replacing the old way. A 17 km road tunnel was opened in 1980, with a smaller number of victims of work accidents (53). A railway tunnel through the second step is under construction. The Swiss authorities hope that there are fewer than 10 deaths in construction (there have been 7). When complete, will be the longest railway tunnel in the world with 57 km.
