The tunnel, which will be 18 kilometers (11.1 miles) long, is one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects, with a construction budget of over 7 billion euros ($7.1 billion).
This is to be expected since both tunnels have been designed by groups with COWI involved. It has even been proposed to have the needed elements be built at the factory making the elements for the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link , since the Fehmarn Sound is around 900 meters and the elements for the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link is 217 meters so the Fehmarn ...

A fixed link between Germany and Denmark was planned to have been completed by 2020, now delayed to 2029. It will be a tunnel rather than a bridge. [1]The road across Fehmarn will be widened from two to four lanes before the tunnel opens.
Eysturoy Tunnel, which opened in 2020, took four years to complete. It dramatically cut the travel time between the Faroe Islands capital on the island of Streymoy and neighboring Eysturoy island.
A Fehmarn Belt Tunnel is under construction between Denmark and Germany, with four lanes (2+2) and double track railway. [3] But according to the agreement between the two countries, the Fehmarn Sound bridge can remain as it is, one lane per direction and a single railway track. [4]
