Channel Tunnel, operated by Euro Tunnel Group through England, connects London with Paris.
The Channel Tunnel was constructed to create a fixed link for passenger and freight transportation between the United Kingdom and continental Europe.
It was built through a joint venture between the United Kingdom and France, with construction beginning in the late 20th century and the tunnel officially opening for passenger and freight traffic on May 6, 1994.
The Channel Tunnel has greatly improved transportation and trade links between the UK and mainland Europe, reducing travel times and facilitating the movement of goods and people.
