LYON, RHONE-ALPES, FRANCE. Le Tunnel de la Croix-Rousse is a 1.7km tunnel underneath the hill Croix-Rousse. There are two channels: one is for both directions of motorised traffic, the other is reserved especially for buses, pedestrians and cyclists. In addition, the city took advantage of the tunnel walls are a canvas for illuminated art. These photos shown the approach and departure from each end with few from within. The “sidewalk” or pedestrian path, is not at all to the side, but instead takes priority and is raised in the middle of the tunnel. On one side, the path is barrier protected on one with a one-way bus lane and the other side is a two-way bike path.
