description Crossrail Tunnels Overview
The Crossrail tunnels are a network of twin-bore passages stretching roughly 21 kilometers beneath central London, forming the core underground segment of the Elizabeth line railway. Construction involved massive tunnel boring machines carving through varied London geology, with the final breakthrough achieved in 2017. The project connected existing rail lines to new underground stations, significantly increasing cross-city transport capacity. Through-running passenger service on the completed route officially commenced in May 2022.
