Dazwischen liegt der Zwischenangriff Nord, von wo aus der Vortrieb in beide Richtungen erfolgt ist. „Ich habe größte Hochachtung vor den Menschen, die hier arbeiten, ob nun als Ingenieure, Mineure, Elektriker, in der Werkstatt oder im Lager. Tunnelbau kann nur gelingen, wenn alle mitziehen und zusammenarbeiten. Ich finde es immer wieder schön zu spüren, dass sich hier alle Beteiligten als Gemeinschaft verstehen“, sagte Tunnelpatin Simone Herrmann.
