Saltash Tunnel

Almost immediately after crossing into Cornwall from Devon via the Tamar Bridge, traffic on the A38 meets the Saltash Tunnel, a 410-metre single-bore road tunnel which was opened in 1988 and passes under a residential area to the north of Saltash Town Centre. The tunnel carries three traffic lanes and is part of the tidal system across the Tamar Bridge; the central lane operates as a reversible lane to cope with holiday and rush hour traffic. On average, the tunnel is used by more than 38,000 motorists each day.
