Impressive! Were you part of the team who decided white walls with the black ceiling? I love it, you don't get the normal tunnel feeling, you don't feel compressed at all.

Shenley Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Have been through the Duplex in Paris a few times now, alas only once in our Zed. ..... 10km long. NO bikes, and a 2m height restriction! It was interesting in our Navara! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it, you don't get the normal tunnel feeling, you don't feel compressed at all. no.. you have the architects to thank for that. i am structural so do the drawings for what actually makes it stand up and work rather than make it look pretty.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwall Tunnel is another of my favorites but you get a fair bit of traffic in the Blackwall at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
