		Since driving was provisionally resumed, the two tunnel boring machines together have travelled a total of 302.8 metres, Gabi I 134.1 m in the east tunnel and Gabi II 168.7 m in the west tunnel.
		At a meeting held on November 2, 2004, between AlpTransit Gotthard Ltd., the Amsteg Lot 252 Gotthard Base Tunnel North (AGN) Consortium and the Swiss Accident Insurance Fund (SUVA) it was decided to suspend mechanical driving in both tunnels.
		The AlpTransit Gotthard Company and the Canton of Uri as partners acknowledge the new situation and have agreed to modify the structure of the exhibition building as well as to redefine the responsibilities for operation of the visitor centre.

	Gotthard Base Tunnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tunnel is part of the Swiss AlpTransit project, also known as 'New Railway Link through the Alps NRLA' which also includes the Lötschberg Base Tunnel between the cantons of Berne and Valais.
		Like the Lötschberg tunnel, it is intended to bypass winding mountain routes and establish a direct route suitable for high speed rail and heavy freight trains.
		Responsible for the construction is the AlpTransit Gotthard AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB-CFF-FSS).

	Inbound Logistics: Global Logistics
		The AlpTransit initiative and its anticipated boon for Switzerland's transportation industry is a quintessential example of Swiss innovation.
		Among all 25 EU countries, total energy consumption for cargo moving via rail rose from 9.5 million tons of fuel in 1992 to 9.6 million tons in 2003, while fuel consumption for road transport grew much faster -- from 262 million tons in 1992 to 314 million tons in 2003, according to the European Commission.
		The AlpTransit Gotthard Tunnel initiative will play a large role in increasing capacity and cargo velocity, luring more shippers to the railroad.

		The principal components of Switzerland’s ambitious New Transalpine Railway project are the north-south AlpTransit Gotthard and the northeast-southwest AlpTransit Lötsch-berg high-speed rail axes.
		Their main distinction is that they will run at the so-called ‘base line’, generally no more than 500 metres above sea level.
		In different subprojects in the AlpTransit Gotthard and AlpTransit Lötschberg schemes, both systems have been tested for functionality and performance.

		The Two Long and Deep Base Tunnels of the Swiss AlpTransit: Gotthard and Lötschberg The heart of the planned new North-South rapid railway connection through the Swiss Alps is the 57 km long Gotthard Tunnel and the 42 km long Lötschberg Tunnel.
		The overburden exceeds 2200 m in both tunnels which leads to a number of specific problems concerning geological predictions, tunnel design and methods of excavation to be applied.
		A specific problem arises from tunneling through critical geological formations at great depth under extremely high water pressure.
