Maastunnel Rotterdam

The oldest tunnel of the traffic(circulation) in the Netherlands is in Rotterdam. He(it) connects(binds) both banks of the river Nieuwe Maas. A bridge(deck) built in this place would too much have been big to allow the sea ships to pass. The tunnel was built from 1937 till 1942. He(it) consists of a set of prefabricated tubes which were pushed in a trench which was dug in the ground by the river. This technique was never used in Europe before. Two neighboring tubes for the motorized traffic (2 2 of the ways). Close by, there are two piled tubes. One for the pedestrians, at the top of which there is one for the cyclists. The car traffic reaches(affects) tubes via the normal access roads. The pedestrians and the cyclists enter their tunnel from a location completely
