In 1802, someone proposed to Napoleon to connect France and England. Today, the Eurotunnel makes over 1 billion a year

The Eurotunnel, linking the UK and France under the English Channel, opened in 1994 after centuries of proposals and decades of failed attempts.

The project moved forward in 1986, reached its excavation breakthrough in 1990, and became a landmark cross-border rail infrastructure.

Once politically controversial, it is now a strategic and profitable connection for Europe, generating more than €1 billion in annual revenue.
