The new tunnel(ready in 1993)is,in fact,three tunnels—tw0 for trains and a“service tunnelfor fresh air to go in and for men who take care of the tunnels.The tunnels are fifty kilometers long,forty meters under water.Forty kilometers of tunnel are under the sea itself.They are the longest undersea tunnels in the world.Trains travel through the tunnels at 160 km/h.People drive their cars onto trains and the trains take them through the tunnel.Each train takes 1,500 people and there are trains every ten minutes.
