The Tyne Tunnel is a two-lane toll vehicular tunnel under the River Tyne, England, completed in 1967, and connecting Jarrow on the south side of the river with Howdon on the north.
The tunnel is one of three forming the Tyne Tunnel project; less well known are the pedestrian and cyclists' tunnels opened in 1951.
The tunnel would be slightly to the west of the existing tunnel, and the pair would allow each tunnel to serve two lanes of traffic each travelling in the same direction; the current tunnel has two single lanes of traffic in opposing directions, representing an avoidable risk.
