I’ve been telling my Swedish brother about the long-overdue need to fix Lynn/Lee and about dreams to move poles, redirect traffic, build an overpass or an underpass, etc.
So on the topic of tunnels for bicycles, he told me that Stockholm is completing a new commuter-train tunnel running north-south under the whole city. A parallel work tunnel is used in the building process and will be preserved as an emergency evacuation route. The city is now investigating the possibility of making that work-tunnel into a bicycle commuters’ tunnel. If the plan goes through (as seems likely), it would be the longest such bicycle tunnel in the world…
