 On completion, the Ceneri Base Tunnel will become an important southern feeder for the Gotthard Base Tunnel as the existing, proportionally steep track over Monte Ceneri is not suitable for high-speed rail or heavy freight trains.Another feeder is the Luino link along Lake Maggiore which is about to be upgraded by Italy in prospect of the opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnel.Both links meet in the Magadino Flat in the future Camorino Node ().
