On December 1st, 1990, Great Britain was connected to Europe for the first time in 8,000 years. 132 feet below the English Channel, the project to develop the Channel Tunnel or “Chunnel” began. Final construction took a total of 4 years, 13,000 workers, and a staggering $15 billion. The second longest rail tunnel in the world, it stretches 95 miles long with an average depth of 150 feet, and connects London and Paris.
