Tyne cyclist and pedestrian tunnels (original) (raw)
Tyne Cyclist and Pedestrian Tunnel was Britain's first purpose-built cycling tunnel. It runs under the River Tyne between Howdon and Jarrow, and was opened in 1951, heralded as a contribution to the Festival of Britain. The original cost was £833,000 and the tunnel was used by 20,000 people a day. It consists of two tunnels running in parallel, one for pedestrian use with a 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) diameter, and a larger 3.7 m (12 ft 2 in) diameter tunnel for pedal cyclists. Both tunnels are 270 m (884 ft) in length, and lie 12 m (40 ft) below the river bed, at their deepest point. The tunnels are over 60 years old and are Grade II listed buildings.

| dbo:abstract | Tyne Cyclist and Pedestrian Tunnel was Britain's first purpose-built cycling tunnel. It runs under the River Tyne between Howdon and Jarrow, and was opened in 1951, heralded as a contribution to the Festival of Britain. The original cost was £833,000 and the tunnel was used by 20,000 people a day. It consists of two tunnels running in parallel, one for pedestrian use with a 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) diameter, and a larger 3.7 m (12 ft 2 in) diameter tunnel for pedal cyclists. Both tunnels are 270 m (884 ft) in length, and lie 12 m (40 ft) below the river bed, at their deepest point. The tunnels are over 60 years old and are Grade II listed buildings. At each end, the tunnels are connected to surface buildings by two escalators and a lift. The Waygood-Otis escalators have 306 wooden steps each, and are the original models from 1951. At the time of construction, they were the highest single-rise escalators in the UK, with a vertical rise of 85 feet (26 m) and a length of 197 feet (60 m). In 1992, escalators with a higher vertical rise of 90 feet (27.4 m) and 200 feet (61 m) in length were constructed at Angel station on the London Underground. The Tyne Tunnel escalators remain the longest wooden escalators in the world. 20,000 people a month used the pedestrian tunnel in 2013. (en) Тайнский велопешеходный тоннель (англ. Tyne cyclist and pedestrian tunnels) — первый в Великобритании тоннель, построенный специально для велосипедистов. Проложен под рекой Тайн между и Джарроу. Открыт в 1951 году во время Фестиваля Британии. Стоимость строительства составила 833 000 фунтов стерлингов, тоннелем первоначально пользовалось до 20 000 человек в день. Фактически, тоннель состоит из двух туннелей, идущих параллельно: один, предназначенный для пешеходов, имеет высоту 3,2 м; второй, для велосипедистов, имеет высоту 3,7 м. Оба туннеля имеют длину 270 м и проходят на глубине 12 м ниже русла реки. Тоннель является памятником архитектуры II категории. Спуск к тоннелям с каждой стороны осуществляется с помощью эскалаторов и лифта. Сохранились оригинальные эскалаторы фирмы Waygood-Otis 1951 года с 306 деревянными ступеньками. На момент строительства они стали самыми высокими однопролётными эскалаторами Великобритании: высота — 26 м, длина — 60 м. В 1992 году более высокие эскалаторы (27,4 м) были установлены на станции Эйнджел лондонскогом метро. Эскалаторы Тайнского тоннеля остаются самыми длинными деревянными эскалаторами в мире. В 2013 году пешеходным туннелем пользовались 20 000 человек в месяц. (ru) |
