Tags: Tunnel.
The Tyne Tunnel is the name given to two two-lane vehicular toll tunnels under the River Tyne in North East England. Completed in 1967 and 2011 respectively they connect the town of Jarrow on the south bank of the river with North Shields and Howdon on the north. The original tunnel was one of three forming the original Tyne Tunnel Project; the others are the pedestrian and cyclist tunnels opened in 1951.
