TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL
1. Connecting the Isles of Great Britain to mainland Europe is a fantasy that
can be dated back nearly 200 years. We can name very few projects against which
there existed a deeper and more powerful prejudice than the construction of a railway
tunnel between Dover and Calais. The objections have been cultural, political and, of
course, military. The British government objected to the scheme mainly because they
thought that the enemy could easily invade England through such a tunnel.
2. The first suggestion to construct a tunnel came from Napoleon in 1800. His
engineers even drafted a tunnel plan, but Britain and France were at war at that time.
In 1988 the question of a Channel Tunnel was studied afresh by a group of French
and British engineers and the work actually began. They agreed to start boring for the
Eurotunnel on both English and French Coasts. The Tunnel runs under the sea
through a layer of dense chalk which is known to be free of cracks and allows water
to penetrate it slowly. The work proceeded very quickly and was successfully
completed in about six years. The Tunnel was opened to traffic on May 7, 1994. Two
main tunnels, with service tunnel between, carry one-way rail traffic.
