, there are a number of differences between the two
tunnel
systems, in terms of the

first
tunnel
cost
approximately half as much as the
second
tunnel
to construct,
however
, the
first
tunnel
was significantly smaller in terms of length and vehicle capacity. The
first
tunnel
also
took much longer to construct. The
