Tallsinki Tunnel Progress Made

The Euregio company says ship traffic between Tallinn and Helsinki is only a partial solution for cargo movement and is campaigning to begin a profitability study for the Tallinn-Helsinki railway tunnel in the fall. This is pending support funds from Europe, which may be delayed due to other project applications before it in the queue, including the Tallinn-Stockholm bridge and what the EU terms the "impossible dream" of a Tallinn-Riga rail connection.
Despite indefinite funding, Euregio is moving ahead, and hotdog sales rights on both ends of the Tallsinki Tunnel have been sold to Estonian businessman, Alexander Kofkin.
