think every time you travel under a tunnel you could be buried alive

There's a tunnel under the St. Lawrence River on the way to Montreal. It used to fucking terrify me as a child.

No civil engineering expert, but I think that siding is just too steep, should either be further back or more of an angle - just a guess...

That's what l meant when l said they "built" it. They rigged the fuck out of the process.

I'm not sure exactly how long, but at least since the mid-1970's.

In Hamburg, there's still the 500-meter-long old Elbtunnel under the river Elbe for pedestrians in use, right at the big harbor. You can hear the humming of big ships driving above your head; yes, I found it a bit spooky.
In the old times around 50 years ago, they used the tunnel for cars as well.
