The Elizabeth River's New Immersed Tube Tunnel
The Midtown Tunnel Project team had to design safe, yet economical slope geometries for the subaqueous dredge slopes for a new roadway tunnel using immersed tube construction techniques. The design of safe slopes for this project was of paramount importance, because a dredge slope failure could cause complete failure of the existing adjacent immersed tube, sloughing slopes would create a costly maintenance issue during construction, and divers and equipment would be working within the dredge prism.
