Equipped with intelligent safety technology according to the latest standards, both core structures in the southern section of the "Nordstrooss" are among the most modern tunnels in the world. The central tunnel construction division of Max Bögl in Arge was responsible for the realisation of the 2,966 metre long Grouft tunnel (completion 2010) and the 1,850 metre long Stafelter tunnel (completion 2013). With the commissioning of the motorway, the journey time between Luxembourg City and the municipality of Mersch, north of the capital in the Alzette Valley, will be reduced to around 20 minutes.
