16.07.2014 Report of the Federal Court € 1.5 billion

The feasibility study by the BMVBS suggested a toll of 4.75 euros for cars and about 25 euros for large trucks.In addition to the toll for the use of the tunnel it has also been suggested that a toll be applied to the 70 kilometers of motorway which will be built linking the tunnel to the current autobahn network.A fixed Elbe crossing is regarded by some as expensive and unnecessary.
