An exhausted Channel Tunnel engineer walks up the access adit and returns to the surface at the end of his shift.


A Channel Tunnel engineer returns to the surface at the Shakespeare Cliff worksite, near Dover, at the end of his shift. Tunnel engineering requires considerable physical stamina as well as technical ability. The engineer is standing in the sunlight at the entrance to the tunnel with the tunnel lights disdappearing into the distance. The Channel Tunnel was the greatest construction project of the 20th century and is considered one of the wonders of the modern age.
