The Subfluvial Tunnel is a road tunnel dug beneath the bed of the Paraná river, linking Paraná, capital of Entre Ríos, with Santa Fe, capital of the neighbouring province, which face each other across the water. Work began in 1962 and it opened on 13 December 1969, the first fixed link between the Mesopotamia region and the rest of Argentina. It is 2,937 metres long, about three and a half kilometres with its ramps, made of huge cylindrical sections, each 64 metres long, laid end to end in the silty riverbed; at its deepest the roof lies about 32 metres below the water's surface. Two ventilation towers stand at its ends on either bank, and it was built by the German firm Hochtief. Crossing by car or bus costs a small toll, and walking through is not allowed. Both banks give views of the broad river and the towers; pair it with Paraná's Parque Urquiza.
