vie pendant la construction du Tunnel sous la Manche
In 1988 the Bouygues construction arm, by then one of the world's largest building and engineering companies, began building the Channel Tunnel between France and England, a project that lasted until 1994.
an English term for the tunnel is 'the chunnel' (a new word coined from 'channel' and 'tunnel')

The Channel Tunnel is normally just called the Channel Tunnel. Road signs say "Channel Tunnel" on the English side, and "Tunnel sous la Manche" on the French side.
It is estimated that around 200 French and 100 English workers died during the construction of the English Channel Tunnel, also known as the Chunnel.

The tunnel going under the English channel connects England and France.
Because the English end of the Channel Tunnel (which links England and France by rail) comes out in the English county of Kent.
This is known as the Channel Tunnel (or Chunnel), named for the English Channel. The Channel Tunnel is no longer referred to as the Chunnel, which was a media generated word when the tunnel first opened but not now.
The Channel Tunnel runs under the English Channel, from Folkestone in Kent to near Calais in Pas-de-Calais.
