Tunnels in your city

How many do you have?

I can only think of 5 in the entire Melbourne metro area and one of them is not technically a tunnel.

Burnley Tunnel
Domain Tunnel
Tunnel on Western Ring Rd at Sydney Rd.
St. Kilda Junction underpass.
Crown Casino Tunnel.

The city loop is four tunnels.
Eastlink has a pair of tunnels in Ringwood.
The Epping/Hurstbridge rail line has a pair of tunnels between Jolimont and West Richmond and another one in Heidelberg.
There is another rail tunnel under Bunbury St in Footscray.

There a lots more smaller tunnels around for pedestrians and stuff too.

I presume you mean publicly accessible road tunnels, because all cities have thousands.

Inner City Bypass Breakfast Creek isn't really a tunnel.
A cut and cover less than 50m I think doesn't class as a tunnel.

You forgot the Inner Northern Busway tunnels. Plus the South East Busway tunnel from Mater Hill to that intersection where buses from the freeway join the busway.

A proper tunnel to me is one that goes underground.

the "tunnel" in the o-bahn is more of an underpass

The M5 East in Sydney is a 10 kilometre freeway tunnel connecting the M5 at King Georges Rd, Beverly Hills with General Holmes Drive and on to the Eastern Distributor.

Is Australias longest tunnel.
