Tunnel de Mauvages
The tunnel de Mauvages on the canal de la Marne au Rhin is 4.785 kilometres in length and is one way controlled by traffic lights and is lit throughout. An éclusier cycles alongside the boat in case of emergency. Until a few years ago boats were towed through by an electric tug and the overhead trolleybus-type wires can still be seen.
