News...    sponsored by      In this Aug. 27 photo, workers place reinforcing bars near the bifurcation at the Gotthard Base Tunnel's multifunctional site "Faido," near Faido in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland. The company in charge of the project says there is only 59 feet (18 meters) left to dig before completing the last section of the new tunnel. The Gotthard Base Tunnel, as it is known, will supplant Japan's 33.46-mile (53.85-kilometer) Seikan Tunnel as the world's longest -- excluding aqueducts -- when it is opened for traffic in 2017.
