The diagrams below give information about two road tunnels in two Australian cities. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The figures compare the changes of
two
underpasses between both cities in Australia.
Overall
, it is clear that
before the road is constructed citizens need to drive through the tunnels
, which have two
lanes
each, located under the river. However
, it has changed to three routes per tunnel and the river has been replaced by the road.
In the early years, people drove through the tunnels
which were built from 1986 to 1998 as another option of the way to commute instead
of the bridge. Each tunnel had two
lanes
that were covered with sand and water from the river. The cost of construction was around 555 million dollars.
The new tunnels
were built from 2002 to 2006 and the cost of construction was twice the previous method. These new tunnels
had milder slopes than the underwater option and they were extended from two
lanes
each to three lanes
each. Both water and sand at the top of the tunnels
changed into stone and clay for building the road above the tunnels
