BIG NEW HARBOUR BASIN PLANNED..
An immense new harbour basin. is planned for Hamburg. The first work in connection with it, the pumping dry of the area where the new basin is to be constructed, has been started: The next stage will be the building of a big circuit cam and the eonsrtuction of a bridge across to the Rugenbergor Harbour. The prosent roadway will disappear. As soon as this preliminary work has bean finish- ed. trenchee will be dug for the now quay walls. These will about 1,200 metres in length: The whole work of the Waltershof and Griesenwaorder Harbour in all its parts should, according to Ham- burg estimates, be finished in about four years time.
be
Between Nouhof and Waltershof a number of borings are taking place with the object of investigat- ing the geological conditions in connection with a project for build- ing a tunnel under the river bed of the Kehlbrand arm of the "Elbe" from. Neuhof to Waltershof. Such a tunnel has become necessary on account of the rapdly increasing traffic in this part of the Hamburg harbour area. If the tunnel is to be built it will, however, have to be started by the beginning of
1928. If delayed beyond time. Prussia, according to the agreement entered into with Ham- burg, may forbid its being built.
