Fourvière tunnel: works underway in early 1970
The construction of the Fourvières tunnel began in 1967 and ended in 1971. The tunnel is 1,853 metres long and is made up of two tubes, with two lanes each. Since it opened, the structure has become a major throughway for the city of Lyon. Some 81,000 vehicles use it daily.
