Between Tenero and Locarno, a 530-metre crossing loop with double track and two switches was built on the previously single-track SBB line Cadenazzo–Locarno, enabling more train services (TILO lines S20/RE80). At the same time the new Minusio stop was created. Total cost of roughly CHF 24.7 million was split between the federal government (double track, CHF 18.2m) and the canton of Ticino, the municipality of Minusio, and federal co-funding (station, CHF 6.5m). — Source: https://www.bahnonline.ch/59614/naechster-halt-eroeffnung-bahnhof-minusio/

The 15.4 km twin-tube Ceneri Base Tunnel forms the southern end of the NEAT axis, linking the Gotthard Base Tunnel to the Ticino rail network between Camorino and Vezia. Technically opened on 4 September 2020, it entered regular commercial service on 13 December 2020; construction costs rose from an initial CHF 1.2 billion (single-tube variant) to about CHF 3.6 billion for the realized twin-tube solution. The tunnel cuts travel time between Locarno and Lugano from 55 to 22 minutes and enables 200-250 trains daily and up to 40 million tonnes of freight per year. — Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceneri-Basistunnel
