Downtown Transit Tunnel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Downtown Transit Tunnel was a planned light rail tunnel in Downtown Austin, Texas. It was a core feature of the proposed initial investment of Project Connect, the transit expansion plan being undertaken by the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The transit tunnel would have served the Orange, Blue, and (eventually) Gold light rail lines. The tunnel was eventually cut from Project Connect plans after unexpected cost increases and design challenges.[1][2]
