Sint-Annatunnel, Pedestrian tunnel under River Scheldt in Antwerp, Belgium
The Sint-Annatunnel extends 572 meters beneath the Scheldt River, connecting the eastern and western parts of Antwerp through a circular passage.
Built between 1931 and 1933, this underground crossing replaced the traditional ferry system that transported people across the Scheldt River for centuries.
The white-tiled passageway features Art Deco design elements from the 1930s, including the original wooden escalators and decorative entrance buildings.
Accessible via elevators or wooden escalators at both ends, the tunnel remains open daily for pedestrians and cyclists crossing between Left Bank and city center.
The tunnel's authentic wooden escalators from 1933 continue to function, making them among the oldest operational wooden escalators in continental Europe.
