From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Fgnievinski (talk | contribs) at 02:32, 16 January 2021 (Copying from Category:Lists by length to Category:Longest things using Cat-a-lot). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This list of longest tunnels ranks tunnels that are at least 13 km (43,000 ft) long. Only continuous tunnels are included. Pipelines, even those that are buried, are excluded. The longest tunnels have been constructed for water distribution, followed by tunnels for railways.
