Lefortovo Tunnel
Lefortovo Tunnel is a road tunnel in the Lefortovo District in Moscow, Russia, opened in 2003. It carries seven lanes of the Third Ring Road. At long, it is the fifth longest in-city tunnel of Europe. The Third Ring Road was originally planned for a surface alignment across the historic district of Lefortovo; however, public outcry from local residents blocked these plans, and the tunnel was built instead.
The tunnel runs under the Yauza River, and water leaks in at some points. The temperature has reached as low as , causing the water on the road's surface to freeze.
It has been nicknamed "The Tunnel of Death" owing to its high accident rate and a viral video circulating around the Internet compiling footage of vehicle accidents recorded by monitoring cameras.
