The most famous and most recent one is the Channel Tunnel, but there are many other major achievements such as the Seikan Tunnel in Japan, or works now under construction such as the Danish Great Belt bridge and tunnel, the Øresund crossing and further projects such as the fixed links across the Messina Strait and the Gibraltar Strait or the Alpine tunnels.
