英吉利海峽隧道（TheChannelTunnel)又稱(chēng)英法海底隧道或歐洲隧道（Eurotunnel)，是一條把英國(guó)英倫三島連接往歐洲法國(guó)的鐵路隧道，于1994年5月6日開(kāi)通。它由三條長(zhǎng)51km的平行隧洞組成，總長(zhǎng)度153km，其中海底段的隧洞長(zhǎng)度為3×38km，是目前世界上最長(zhǎng)的海底隧道。從1986年2月12日法、英兩國(guó)簽訂關(guān)于隧道連接的坎特布利條約（TreatyofCanterbury)到1994年5月7日正式通車(chē)，歷時(shí)8年多，耗資約100億英鎊（約150億美元），也是世界上規(guī)模最大的利用私人資本建造的工程項(xiàng)目。隧道長(zhǎng)度50千米，僅次于日本青函隧道。海底長(zhǎng)度39千米。單程需35分鐘。TheChannelTunnel----Theworld'slongestunderseatunnelChannelTunnelLength:560km(350miles)Width:34-240km(21-150miles)(ItsnarrowestpartisbetweenDoverinEnglandandCapeGris-Nez,nearGalasis,inFrance.)Depth:120-45meters(400-500feet)(1km=0.6214miles)(1meter=3.28feet)TheEnglishChannel中文：英吉利海峽隧道
