The tunnel bores measure 48 ft × 40 ft (15 m × 12 m). The traveled portion is a rectangular shape just over 16 ft (4.9 m) tall. The space above is used for forced air ventilation while the space below the roadway is used for drainage. [1] As of March 2023, more than 434 million vehicles had passed through the tunnel.
