Tunnel development set for Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany

The German state of Bavaria will invest around €35 million in a road tunnel under the Englischer Garten in Munich. The city of Munich will have to find the rest of the expected €125 million construction cost for the 380m tunnel that will replace a motorway that splits the park. German media reports say that city authorities will look toward some form of private sponsorship for tunnel that would likely be a cut and cover design that would follow closely the current alignment of the highway.

Englischer Garten, or English Garden, was built in 1789. At 3.7km2 - 370 ha – it is one of Europe's largest urban public parks and larger than New York City's Central Park. The name comes from its landscape style that was popular in England from the mid-18th century.
