Tunnel
A tunnel is an underground passageway, dug through surrounding soil, earth or rock, and enclosed except for the entrance and exit, commonly at each end. A pipeline is not a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods. A tunnel may be for foot or vehicular road traffic, for rail traffic, or for a canal. The central portions of a rapid transit network are usually in the tunnel. Some tunnels are used as sewers or aqueducts to supply water for consumption or for hydroelectric stations. Utility tunnels are used for routing steam, chilled water, electrical power or telecommunication cables, as well as connecting buildings for convenient passage of people and equipment. Secret tunnels are built for military purposes, or by civilians for smuggling of weapons, contraband, or people. Special tunnels, such as wildlife crossings, are built to allow wildlife to cross human-made barriers safely. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Tunnels In The Alps
There are a large number of tunnels in the Alps of Central Europe. They have the advantage of providing shorter routes and faster journey times by avoiding narrow, winding routes over mountain passes which may well be affected by winter conditions. This list is intended to give an overview of the main Alpine tunnels. As the list is "country" oriented, cross-border tunnels are listed twice (e.g. the Mont Blanc tunnel is listed under France and under Italy.) See separate article for a list of the longest tunnels in the world. Germany * Füssen Border Tunnel France * Mont Cenis Tunnel ''(railway)'' and Fréjus road tunnel * Mont Blanc Tunnel ''(road tunnel)'' * Tenda Tunnels ''(road and railway)'' * Col de Tende Road Tunnel ''(one of the oldest long road tunnels, 3.2 km)'' * Buco di Viso ''(mule track, oldest tunnel in the Alps)'' * Fréjus Road Tunnel and the much older Fréjus Railway Tunnel Italy * Mont Cenis Tunnel ''(railway)'' and Fréjus road tunnel * Great St Be ...

Tauern Railway Tunnel
The Tauern Railway Tunnel (german: Tauerntunnel) in Austria is the longest tunnel of the Tauern Railway crossing the main chain of the Alps. Currently, it has a length of . The highest point of the tunnel, which is also the highest point in all of the railway line, is at above sea level. The tunnel's north entrance is at Böckstein in the valley of Bad Gastein in the state of Salzburg, while the south entrance is near Mallnitz in Carinthia. The construction of the Tauern Railway Tunnel was first mooted during the late nineteenth century, although actual work on its construction was started in July 1902. The excavation was performed via a labour intensive process by a mostly Italian workforce overseen by the civil engineer Karl Wurmb. It was effectively finished during 1906, and formally opened three years later by Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. While trains were initially operated by steam locomotives, the tunnel and wider line alike were electrified during the interwar period ...
