Description
San Francisco’s first major tunnel was the 900-foot-long Stockton Tunnel, opened in 1912 to carry four lanes of cars and buses under the edge of Nob Hill from the main business district to Chinatown and North Beach. San Francisco is now digging a tunnel for subway tracks that will replace the bus route through the tunnel.Facts
