subway tunnel
Train's urban burrow
A subway tunnel is an underground passage through which subway trains travel.
These tunnels run beneath city streets, rivers, and buildings, forming the hidden infrastructure of urban rail transit systems.
The subway tunnel flooded during the storm.
Construction methods include boring through rock and the cut-and-cover technique of digging trenches from the surface.
