The Gibraltar Airport tunnel opened in March 2023 to take all vehicular traffic. There is “a separate subway to provide a safe route for pedestrians [and] cyclists”, but people travelling on foot or by bike can continue to cross the runway along Winston Churchill Avenue (except when planes are landing or taking off). With motorised traffic diverted, this enticing experience should be much more peaceful. Work began on the tunnel in 2008, but was delayed for five years due to litigation on the quality of construction.
