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.
Drilling work for this latest tunnel is expected to start in 2015 with the hard and cohesive rock under Helsinki being described as ideal for tunnelling.
