Traffic flows through China's new underground tunnel
Traffic began moving through China's new four-lane tunnel under the Yangtze River on Sunday. The nearly $300-million tunnel cuts travel time between business areas in the Hubei Province to seven minutes from 30 minutes. The tunnel can withstand flooding, having been built with a 300-year flood plain in mind. About 50,000 vehicles can travel through it every day.
