The submerged floating tunnel is an innovative concept for crossing the waterways. It is a tube-like structure made of steel and concrete. It gives new opportunities to the society for regional growth and protects the environment. As the tunnel is situated at a depth of almost 30m, it should be perfectly watertight, and secondly, it should withstand hydraulic forces coming on it. For the construction of a submerged floating tunnel, at first, dreading is done. Then the construction is done by 4 steps--1]Pre casting, 2]Construction of joints, 3]Construction of foundation, 4]Anchoring of cable. The submerged floating tunnel will set up new trends in transportation engineering and which shows with the advances in technology that will reduce the time required for traveling.
