The freshwater tunnel has built around it adjacent maintenance tunnels that allow workers to access various parts of the tunnel, including tunnel B3/C3 and [[Hallway|tunnel B2]] that are around 9 km long each and connect the two major facilities together, the latter spawned [[Mörkö|various myths]] around it and aroused fear among workers, advising not to use it. | The freshwater tunnel has built around it adjacent maintenance tunnels that allow workers to access various parts of the tunnel, including tunnel B3/C3 and [[Hallway|tunnel B2]] that are around 9 km long each and connect the two major facilities together, the latter spawned [[Mörkö|various myths]] around it and aroused fear among workers, advising not to use it. | ||
At least one part of the tunnels extends under the [[Metroride|Ampstrand Line]], whick [[Markku Siltanen|Mark]] falls into after that part of the metro line collapsed. | |||
The freshwater tunnel itself is around 14,5 km long and parts of it were bored through underground caves, in which during the initial construction a species of [[Stalburg Mushroom Virus#Green Mushrooms|green glowing mushrooms]] was discovered, which thanks to the water reach of the tunnel, had spread to other parts of [[Stalburg]]. The tunnel was conceived in the first half of the 20th century after the second world war, as a response to a lack of potable water in the city due to pollution, and was constructed in under a decade, being the biggest tunneling project in the city to that date. | The freshwater tunnel itself is around 14,5 km long and parts of it were bored through underground caves, in which during the initial construction a species of [[Stalburg Mushroom Virus#Green Mushrooms|green glowing mushrooms]] was discovered, which thanks to the water reach of the tunnel, had spread to other parts of [[Stalburg]].
