Dapu Lu tunnel opens fully on WednesdayNow that we have the Yan'an Lu and Renmin Lu and like six other tunnels connecting Puxi and Pudong, it's hard to remember the time when there was only one underground linkage across the Huangpu. But now the Dapu Lu tunnel, which first opened in 1971, has finished its seven-month renovation run and is expected to be fully utilizable by Wednesday. A second tube right next to the existing part will open at the same time. Hopefully this will make traffic a little more bearable around rush hour.
