Description - The Channel Tunnel by Sandy Donovan
Just twenty-one miles wide, the English Channel is all that separates England and France. After many years and countless abandoned plans, France and England held a contest: companies would compete to win the privilege - and enormous engineering challenge - of constructing the world's longest undersea link. Seven years and more than 11.5 billion pounds later, this engineering marvel opened and now transports more than 10 million people annually on the quick half-hour journey under the sea. Illustrated with colour photos. Ages 9-13.
