Q26660485




The Tyne Pedestrian and Cyclist Tunnels run under the River Tyne between Howdon and Jarrow in Tyne & Wear, England. Opened in 1951, heralded as a contribution to the Festival of Britain, they were Britain's first purpose-built cycling tunnels. The original cost was £833,000 and the tunnels were used by 20,000 people a day. They consist of two tunnels running in parallel, one for pedestrian use with a 3.2 m diameter, and a larger 3.7 m diameter tunnel for pedal cyclists. Both tunnels are 270 m (884 ft) in length, and lie 12 m (40 ft) below the river bed, at their deepest point. The tunnels are over 70 years old and are Grade II listed buildings.
