A new 1.5km tunnel to carry vehicle traffic, and estimated to cost €130 million, is being planned in the Finnish capital Helsinki.
The tunnel would run under the Kalasatama area, and is the latest of several tunnelling projects under Helsinki.
A major utility tunnel network system was started some years ago with the aim of reducing roadworks and congestion.
