The Eurotunnel, also known as the Channel Tunnel, is a remarkable engineering feat that connects the UK and mainland Europe beneath the English Channel. Construction began in 1988 and was completed in 1994, with the first passenger services starting in the same year. The tunnel spans approximately 50 kilometres (31 miles), making it the longest underwater tunnel in the world.

The idea of a tunnel under the English Channel dates back to the early 19th century, but it wasn't until the late 20th century that the project gained momentum. The tunnel consists of three tunnels: two for trains and a central service tunnel. It was built to facilitate passenger and freight transport, providing a fast and efficient alternative to ferry crossings. The Eurotunnel has since become a vital transportation link, enabling millions of travellers to move between the UK and Europe each year. Today, it remains a symbol of international cooperation and technological innovation.
