underpass
n.
route or path under a main road (for pedestrians, cars, etc.)
Tunnel
A tunnel is an underground passage. The definition of what constitutes a tunnel is not universally agreed upon. However, in general tunnels are at least twice as long as they are wide. In addition, they should be completely enclosed on all sides, save for the openings at each end.A tunnel may be for
pedestrians or
cyclists, for general road
traffic, for
motor vehicles only, for
rail traffic, or for a
canal. Some are
aqueducts, constructed purely for
carrying water — for consumption, for
hydroelectric purposes or as
sewers — while others carry other services such as
telecommunications cables. There are even tunnels designed as
wildlife crossings for
European badgers and other
endangered species. Some
secret tunnels have also been made as a method of entrance or escape from an area, such as the
Cu Chi Tunnels or the tunnels connecting the
Gaza Strip to
Egypt.
