Collapsed manhole this time. I thought that was only something that happened to Dicko?

The Dartford Tunnel is also closed....might be back open by now though as I heard that an hour or so ago....we need another river crossing desperately!0

Why would they have a manhole cover in a tunnel...?[cite]Posted By: Medders[/cite]Collapsed manhole this time. I thought that was only something that happened to Dicko?0 -
Drainage? Think about it - the tunnel slopes down as you go in & up as you come out, therefore rain will run downhill and flood the tunnels if there aren't any drains...[cite]Posted By: RedZed333[/cite]

I wondered why the Rotherhithe Tunnel was slow going, even at 4 o'clock.
Just think, another river crossing would be under construction right now if we'd all voted for Ken.0 -
Why don't they make the tunnel with a hump in the middle and then all the water would run out itself at each end...[cite]Posted By: F-Blocker[/cite]It'll be pumped out.0 -

I'm no expert but I think if you make the middle higher than the sides you end up with a bridge.0 -

I want to stand for London Mayor with two policies
1- Construct an underwater Bridge from Thamesmead to North
2- A £2 payment for each pixie you kill and take to that big glass bowl gaff where the Mayor lives
Who's voting for me?0 -

Landed at City airport yesterday at 12.45, cab tried to get to Blackwall Tunnell and traffic was gridlocked, then tried Woolwich Ferry, but when we got half a mile away, traffic gridlocked again and only one ferry running. Ended up going across Dartford Bridge and getting home 14.45 ... bloody ridiculous ... again!0

The Thames is hardly tropical but if the experts are to be believed it soon will be....[cite]Posted By: F-Blocker[/cite]

There is a long and complicated answer I could give as to why there is underground structures in tunnels but I won't.
It just happens0 -
Patronising tw*t!
Try us.0 -
Ok, the tunnel is just that. A tunnel, it goes below the water level and is a meant to be a dry structure.
So unless you drive an amphibious vehicle you would not want to drive through the blackwall tunnel without it having an infrastructure underground as such, else you would just get wet and that would be less fun than sitting in traffic whilst one of the covers to these underground structures is fixed (trust me you would not want to drive over an opening to an underground structure)
Or shit like that could get left and in about 2 days the blackwall tunnel would just be like an aquatic decoration0 -
BORING...!0
