Lonsdale Tunnel
Railway tunnel in Vancouver, Canada
The Lonsdale Tunnel is a 1,640 ft (500 m)[1] freight railway tunnel in North Vancouver, British Columbia,[2] running under Lonsdale Avenue and parallel to Esplanade Ave between St. Georges and Chesterfield Ave.
It was built by the Vancouver Harbour and Wharves Commission, from 1928[1] on, to separate industrial freight from traffic and street cars on Lonsdale Ave and connect the Pacific Great Eastern Railway to the new Second Narrows Bridge.
