The Aurean Tunnels are a set of undersea tunnels traversing the Western Aurean Strait between Montecara and Paretia. They consist of a twin-bore rail tunnel and a pair of road tunnels. Planned and built between 1960 and 1987, they were one of the most expensive engineering projects in world history.
