Tunnels in New Orleans
Yes, New Orleans has several notable tunnels:
- Crescent City Connection (CCC) Tunnels: Twin tubes carry I-10 under the Mississippi River, linking East Bank to West Bank.
- Huey P. Long Bridge Tunnel / New Orleans–Metairie Causeway Tunnel: 1.7-mile underwater tunnel carrying I-10 under Lake Pontchartrain to the Northshore.
- I-10 Twin Span Bridges / Greater New Orleans Expressway Tunnels: Carry I-10 under the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (Industrial Canal) to the East Bank.
These are critical hurricane evacuation and daily commute arteries.
