Public enquiry considered route proposal which may include 54 km tunnel under Mt Ambin amongst others. March 1998.   Mt Ambin base tunnel now known as AlpeTunnel and 52 km alignment is being defined by long exploration boreholes. Proposed railway will shave 3 h off the journey from Lyon in France to Turin in Italy and is a top priority project within the EU. Route will carry 10.5 million passengers and 14 million t freight each year. Tunnel will take six years to construct and will cost $5 billion. Design is for twin 8 m-diameter tubes with 30 to 50 m separation linked by cross passages. Located mainly in calceschists, metamorphic basement rocks, Triassic dolomites and quartzites with schists, Jurassic marls and limestones, sandstones and flysch. Window access at Venaus (7 km-long), Modane (6.5 km-long), La Praz (8.7 km-long), and St Martin la Porte (1 km-long). $315 million preliminary design investigation programme will include some tunnels between 2001 and 2007, when work should commence on main tunnels for six years. Commissioning scheduled for 2015. Second 12 km-long tunnel required on Italian side to bypass Bussoleno. Sept 1999.   Six deep exploration holes of between 2 and 3 km underway on Alpetunnel alignment between Torino and Chambery by jv AlpExploDrilling comprising Dentag Europe, BRR and Foralith. Currently completing 1.8 km hole at Avrieux using Wirth B5 and will move to Etache for a 3 km hole using a Dentag drillrig. Visit www.foralith.ch for more information. Sept 1999. Underground station at Modane will increase projected cost to $6 billion. Preliminary work schedule under consideration for 2001-2006 financed 50% by EU to include geotechnical investigations in the Suze valley and construction of adits and pilot tunnels. Decision due later this year on final alignment. June 2000.   Agreement signed between governments for $10 billion Lyons-Turin (F-I) line with 52 km base tunnel for construction 2006-2015. Access tunnels should start at St Martin la Porte (F), La Praz (F), Modane (F) and Venaus (I) during 2002. Feeder routes will also require tunnels, notably for 14 km beneath Epine (F) and Dullin (F) ranges, 20 km beneath Chartreuse (F) mountains, and 12 km under Belledonne (F) mountains. The 12 km Bussoleno (I) and 8 km Borgone (I) tunnels are also on the main alignment.

The consortium will study the possible effects of an accident inside the tunnel with dangerous goods including toxic gases or flammable liquids and help determine whether the planned safety measures inside and around the tunnels are sufficient to mitigate the effects of such events. The survey will be finalised in May 2005. The railway line will be used for passenger transport, including high speed rail travel, and for freight transportation. The latter will also include the transportation of dangerous goods and trucks.

The Joint Venture GEME composed of the French companies EUROVIA Alpes / Carrieres du Bassin Rhonalpin / SATM / Granulats VICAT / SPIE BATIGNOLLES VALERIAN / SPIE BATIGNOLLES MALET / VINCI Construction Terrassements / GIE GMM 73 have secured the EUR799.7 million contract for the recovery of excavation materials on the French side of the Mont Cenis base tunnel. With a view to sustainable development and circular economy. TELT has chosen to aim for maximum reuse of materials extracted during civil works. It is estimated that of the 37 million tons of these excavated earth and rocks, of which approximately 30 million tons extracted in France, over 50% will be reused in the works. A reuse objective that could reach 60% thanks to the recent agreement signed by the Intergovernmental Commission on behalf of the Italian and French governments. For the first time in Europe, in fact, it becomes possible to reuse excavation materials beyond national borders, considering the international section of the Turin-Lyon as a "single construction site". 

Depending on their characteristics, materials have different uses and destinations. In particular, a part will be treated in two valorization sites (one near Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and the other in Modane) where these rocks will be processed to create the concrete to be reused on the base tunnel construction sites. Another part will be used on the construction site of the new tracks in the Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne basin, where the railway embankments will be built. 

Finally, the materials that cannot be reused in the international section of the new line will still be directed towards authorized storage sites or former quarries to be restored.
