Corrugated rail tunnel lifted into place
Article Abstract:
A 15.5 m wide and 5.4 m high corrugated steel tunnel has been designed and installed in Carmarthenshire, Wales to make way for a new highway without affecting an important rail line that runs from London to Wales. The size of the tunnel should provide sufficient clearance for any future high speed rail traffic.
