G eorge Wallace Tunnel  is a marvel of engineering located in Mobile, Alabama in southern United States. This is an underwater tunnel along Interstate 10 that crosses from the Mobile city's downtown, goes beneath the Mobile River, and emerges on Blakeley Island. The depth of clearance is 40 ft for the ship channel over the tunnel.  The 2 tunnels were built in sections and floated to the proper positions, then sunk. Each section was sunk next to the previous section and joined underwater. When all sections were connected, and concrete set into place, they were pumped dry and finished out.  The tunnel is well lit and clean. The drive is fun. Don't hit the brakes unnecessarily. Maintain the speed. You will loose radio reception midway through the tunnel though.  This tunnel is named after former Alabama Governor and Presidential candidate George Wallace.
