How do they build underwater tunnels?

546 views

How is the water initially displaced? And do they float? Attach to the bottom of the body of water?

I was driving through one today in Boston and couldn’t help but wonder. Cheers in advance!

Not sure which one in Boston that you went through, but if it was the Ted Williams (to-from the airport) it was built in sections that looked like binoculars on the surface, and then sunk in place and attached together. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Williams_Tunnel
