Just like 63rd St. tunnel its an Immersed Tube tunnel, meaning it merely resting on the cleared seabed path, and covered from the top to protect against the incidents such as one mentioned above. |

As Overlocked said, it's an immersed tube. This illustration seems to show that to good effect.AIGA Design Archives |
