Completion of Channel Tunnel Sections

Date: December 1, 1990 • Location: Wissant, France

Channel Tunnel sections started from the United Kingdom and France meet beneath the seabed.

The Channel Tunnel, sometimes referred to as the Chunnel, is a 50.46-kilometre (31.35-mile) railway tunnel beneath the English Channel which connects Folkestone in the United Kingdom with Coquelles in northern France. Opened in 1994, it remains the only fixed link between Great Britain and the European mainland.
