Russian Tunnel of Death

The 3,150 m long Lefortovo tunnel in Russia , is the longest in-city tunnel in ll the world. It is nicknamed 'The Tunnel of Death'.

See for yourself why. There is a river running over the tunnel,and water leaks through in some areas. When the temperature reaches nearly 0°C (like it does during the Winter in Russia ), the road freezes and becomes as slippery as hell. The result is the attached videos which were taken during a single day with the tunnel Surveillance camera . Congratulations to the dual-carriage bus driver...imagine the passengers in the back! What a ride!

The next time you complain about traffic, remember this video...Russian Engineering at its best!

@arsonlon totally! I've watched that four times now and can't see it as anything except the truck suddenly doubling

Wow. Suddenly I see the appeal of those hip-deep roads out in the middle of nowhere. Might be mud up to your doors, but not cars and trucks acting like balls in a pinball machine! I hope you have other routes to where that goes. Best regards.
