The link, with two lanes in each of four tunnels, two on each tier with the lower tunnels for through traffic and the upper tunnels for local traffic is scheduled for completion in 2016.
The work is being carried out by the Avenue2 consortium, which includes the contractors Strukton and Ballast Nedam. New homes and a park will be set up over the tunnels.
