Another interesting bit is about the tolls. It was briefly mentioned in the article that the tolls will last for about 40 years. So after 40 years the money from the tolls will have paid off the loans needed for the project, and then the tunnel will be free to use. So the tolls are really to finance the building, not to serve as a way to make money off the infrastructure. (Though I doubt I will make a lot of use of the then-free tunnel in 40 years, but it's nice that there is such a forward-looking pan-European vision behind it.)
