The tunneling technologies are constantly evolving, with the large diameter multifunctional city tunnels becoming more and more common. By building tunnels of large diameters in urban areas one can rationally distribute traffic flows within the unified space and combine various modes of transport.

So, in order to make a decision one needs to perform a comprehensive analysis.
