Lyon Turin Ferroviaire (LTF), a subsidiary ofRéseau Ferré de France (RFF) andRete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), was the early developer of the jointFrench-Italian part of thefuture rail link betweenLyon andTurin. It has now been replaced in that role byTunnel Euralpin Lyon Turin (TELT), with the same staff and leadership.
The critical part of this planned line is the 57.5 km (35.7 mi)Mont d'Ambin Base Tunnel betweenSaint-Jean-de-Maurienne in France and theSusa Valley in Italy.
In November 2007, theEuropean Commission granted €671.8 million (up to 30% of its total value) to the transborder section of the Lyon-Turin link through its multiannualTEN-T program (2007-2013).[1]
This contribution of the EU lies within the global financing of €2.1 billion in favor of the transborder section of the Lyon-Turin for 2007-2013 period.Italy and France bring the major part of these financing.
