Lefortovo Tunnel - Tunnel run anyone ?

Couldn't see this one in search so hope not a repost.

 

 

The 3,150 m long Lefortovo tunnel in Russia, is the longest in-city tunnel in all the world.

 

It is nicknamed 'The Tunnel of Death'. See for yourself why.

 

There is a river running over the tunnel, and water leaks through in some areas.

 

When the temperature reaches nearly 0°C (like it does during the Winter in Russia), the road freezes and becomes VERY slippery.

 

The result is the attached video which were taken during a single day with the tunnel surveillance camera.

 

Congratulations to the dual-carriage bus driver - imagine the passengers in the back!
