Tunnel design

The tunnel is Template:Cvt long and consists of a single bore of diameter Template:Cvt.

The tunnel leads from the southern edge of the East Link Bridge, underneath the River Liffey towards the North Quay Wall, approximately Template:Cvt west of 3Arena. The drive and reception shafts are respectively Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt deep, leaving the tunnel passing approximately Template:Cvt below the shipping channel of the river.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
