The main tunnel is the primary entrance to the central terminal area and is a 630m twin bore road tunnel with two lanes per bore and two additional single lane side bores. The cargo tunnel is a bi-directional airside road tunnel. It is 830m long and comprises 630m of bored tunnel and 100m of ‘cut and cover’ sections at each end.
