Abstract: The Lyon-Turin rail connection is part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), a program for developing EU transportation infrastructures. The tunnel at the foot of Mont Cenis, a section on this connection, has monopolized attention given its gigantism and cost. The European Union has supported this construction site by providing 40% of its finances. However this tunnel has triggered radical criticism, both environmental and economic. The Italian government's recent position leads us to think that the tunnel will be built as planned. However its economic efficiency will depend on many conditions that, yet to be satisfied, are mainly related to the coherence between the program for operating the rail line (for freight and high-speed passenger trains) and the construction program that will allow for this.
