Gibraltar Tunnel

The Gibraltar Tunnel (or the Tunnel at Gibraltar) is an infrastructure located at the Strait of Gibraltar, allowing land travel between Europe and Africa.

Overview
In May 2016, the European Economic Community council approved the construction of a tunnel between Europe and North Africa. Although the justification for the project was safer and easier travel between the continents, the truth was that the ECC would gain a greater control on the traffic, plus it would reduce some of the pressure on the Mediterranean patrols. The construction directive additionally stated that any vessel crossing the Strait would be breaking the law and thus be automatically targeted.

The chosen route was the Strait of Gibraltar, which also gave the opportunity to solve the diplomatic issues between Spain, the United Kingdom, and Morocco over the Spanish city of Ceuta, and the British territory of Gibraltar. Stating the need to protect the infrastructure and its workers, the ECC took full control over the region.

The tunnel construction begun in 2017 and was finished in 2020. A large administrative community is tasked to process the vast amount of paperwork from a place like this. Most workers live in the UK, while the rest commute from Spain. The British troops already there, instead of going back to the United Kingdom, were transferred into the European Defence Commission to keep the installations protected.

Locations

 * Ceuta - The former Spanish city of Ceuta was completely turned into an extensive transport terminus in which people and goods had to be processed before going into Europe.
 * Gibraltar - The former British territory was turned into a gigantic waypoint for people and goods going into Europe from both Africa and the Atlantic Ocean. The port was enlarged to allow much bigger ships and submarines to dock, and the Rock of Gibraltar was further hollowed to allow for a secure storage and accommodation for goods and people heading into Europe.
 * Tunnel - The infrastructure has a dual carriage road going each direction and a lone rail line.

Trivia

 * This area is based on the real life Strait of Gibraltar and the localities of Ceuta and Gibraltar.
