Background
The Green Tunnels are cut and cover tunnels, which consist, in brief, in excavating a trench, constructing the tunnel in it, and backfilling it afterwards, to restore the ground surface to its original state. By integrating the railway into the existing landscape, this tunnelling method contributes in mitigating potential impacts that it could have, particularly in rural areas, such as visual pollution and wildlife fragmentation. For this reason, the Green Tunnels have been proposed as a sustainable solution for some sections of the Specified route.
