Default Any neat tunnels you go through on your roadtrips?

What are some good tunnels you go through when you are on your roadtrips? Every year when I go to the beach in Virginia, I pass the Hampton Roads Tunnel.

I get to pass through the Eisenhower tunnel pretty regularly (and it's counterpart in the other direction, the Johnson tunnel). There are several other tunnels on I-70 between Denver and I-15. I've also been through the Green River tunnel on I-80 a time or two. The tunnels I pass through most often, though, are the truck route tunnels on the southbound I-5 at the junction with CA SR 14 in the Newhall Pass. One of these is the tunnel that had the terribly fire in it last fall. They did a nice job with the repair work. Some others that I've been through often include the series of tunnels on the Pasadena Freeway as it heads North out of downtown Los Angeles, and the ones where the 210 and 134 freeways come together in Pasadena, CA.
I know there are several others I've passed through, though I can't remember any others that are on major routes at the moment.

Ah yes, the Green River on I-80. Not all that long, but impressive because of the sheer mass of the mountain through which it passes.

That mountain kinda makes the road seem insignificant, doesn't it?

I also passed through the Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel one year.

The Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel and the Eisenhower Tunnel stand out for me.

The Eisenhower Tunnel has always been my favorite. Like the Green River one too, been thru it many a times. There is another tunnel going around Lake Tahoe that is pretty cool but nothing like the Eisenhower. The Mobile Bay Tunnell is another good one.

There are cool tunnels all over Pennsylvania that run through the hills/mountains. Cant recall any of their names off the top of my head though.

Default Downtown L.A.

Downtown L.A.'s 2nd Street tunnel, half-round lined with shiny tile is kind of cool. It's been the stage for many car commercials. West I-10 termination at the McLure tunnel in Santa Monica where the view opens up to the Pacific, also one of my favorites.
