What is the longest tunnel in Singapore?

Which expressway is the longest in Singapore?

KPE. Longest. 12.8 km. Wait, is it km or miles? Ugh, kilometers. Kallang to Paya Lebar. Duh. That’s why it’s called KPE. My bad, sometimes forget the obvious. Passed by Geylang yesterday. Lots of good food there. Should go again. So hungry now. KPE always jammed though. Especially during rush hour. Makes sense, central business district. Everyone going to work. Or home. East to west. Makes traveling between areas a lot easier. Imagine pre-KPE days. Nightmare traffic. Glad they built it. 12.8 km… long. Wonder how long it took to build. Years probably. Expensive too. Bet it cost a fortune. Central area. Land is gold. Literally. Crazy. Need coffee.

• KPE – Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway.
• 12.8 kilometers long.
• East to west connection.
• Connects Kallang and Paya Lebar.
• Passes through the central business district and Geylang.
• Major arterial road. High traffic volume.

What is the longest underground tunnel in Singapore?

The Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) is Singapore’s longest underground MRT line, stretching a hefty 43 kilometers. It’s not just long; it’s a logistical marvel. Initially, two separate lines, the Thomson and East Coast lines, were envisioned – a testament to how plans evolve. But hey, combining them made perfect sense.

This sprawling network boasts 32 stations, connecting diverse areas. Think Orchard Road’s glitz, Marina Bay’s sophistication, and Changi Airport’s global connectivity. It’s a beautiful example of urban planning, really. The scale is impressive.

Key features of the TEL:

• Length: 43 km (the longest!)
• Stations: 32 stations – quite a feat.
• Connectivity: North, central, and east Singapore – seamless travel.
• Major hubs served: Orchard Road, Marina Bay, Changi Airport. The strategic placement is brilliant.

Now, about tunnels specifically… The TEL utilizes extensive tunneling, but pinpointing the single longest tunnel within the TEL’s complex network requires more specific engineering data. My guess is that such information isn’t publicly available. It’s a shame, I’d love to know the exact length of those subterranean arteries! The whole thing’s a bit of a mystery, you know? Perhaps a Freedom of Information request is in order? That would be a fun project. I’d do it, but I’m busy this week, got my hands full with my pet hamster’s elaborate burrow system design. That’s a whole different kind of engineering.

Where is the longest road tunnel in the world?

25 kilometers. Laerdal Tunnel. Norway. Stretched out…so long. Driving through… feels strange. Like being swallowed.

Three huge caverns. Break up the journey. Supposed to help with claustrophobia. Still feels… unsettling. Like being underwater.

Remember driving through once. Years ago. With my family. We stopped in one of the caverns. The blue light… eerie.

Oglaend System. Built the support systems. Ladders and cables. Strange thing to remember. Don’t know why it stuck.

• Laerdal Tunnel: Longest road tunnel. 25 kilometers.
• Norway: Home to three of the ten longest road tunnels.
• Caverns: Three large caverns. Every 6 kilometers. Meant to alleviate claustrophobia.
• Oglaend System: Provided support systems. Cables and ladders.

What is the longest road in the world?

The Pan-American Highway, or as I like to call it, “that ridiculously long road,” is supposedly the longest dang road in the world.

It stretches about 30,000 km or, you know, the distance from my couch to Uranus. Give or take a kilometer.

It bravely goes through 14 countries, which is more countries than I’ve visited, and I once went to Tijuana!

• Starts: Prudhoe Bay, Alaska—basically, the North Pole’s parking lot.
• Ends: Ushuaia, Argentina—like, the world’s attic.
• Cool thing: It’s not really continuous, because there’s this pesky Darién Gap in Panama/Colombia. It’s basically a jungle saying, “Nah, you’re walking now!”

Countries included are, lets see, Canada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Argentina.

What is the longest highway in Asia?

Asian Highway 1. Longest. Twelve thousand miles.

A dozen countries. Crazy.

Fastest? A week. Doubtful. My friend, Mark, took three months in 2023. He hated the food in Uzbekistan.

Gateway to Asia. Overused term. Marketing.

Dream destinations. Subjective. I preferred Nepal. Stunning.

• Endless tarmac.
• Bureaucracy. Always.
• Incredible scenery. Sometimes. Mostly dust.

Note: The claim of a week’s travel time is unrealistic. My own research indicates significantly longer travel times. Mark’s trip involved extensive stops, cultural immersion and he got food poisoning. Still, he’s planning another trip in 2025. Fool. The road itself is impressive, however. Irrefutable.

What is the longest tunnel in the world underwater?

Submerged. Dark. Deep. The Chunnel. England… France… Drifting. Fifty kilometers. Long. So long. Under the sea. Pressing down. Dark water. Miles. Thirty-one miles. Imagine. Train rushing. Through the dark. Seventy-five meters down. Deep. So deep. Fish swim above. Unaware. The world above. Forgotten. Lost in the blue. The Chunnel. Connecting. England and France. A thread. Under the sea. Thirty-seven kilometers undersea. So long. So dark. Just a train. And the sea. Miles and miles. Of nothing. Then land.

• Channel Tunnel (Chunnel): Longest undersea rail tunnel
• Connects: England and France
• Length: 50.5 km (31.4 miles)
• Undersea Portion: 37.9 km (23.5 miles)
• Depth: 75 meters (246 feet)
