The Tyne Tunnels' mist system is a remarkable feat of civil engineering that controls humidity and lighting to protect drivers travelling beneath the River Tyne. By simulating natural driving conditions and reducing glare, the system maintains consistent visibility levels throughout the tunnel — cutting accident risk and improving traffic flow for the thousands of commuters who use the route every day. This video explores how modern infrastructure quietly blends smart technology with everyday transportation needs, making one of the UK's busiest underwater road crossings safer and more reliable for all road users. #TyneTunnels #TunnelSafety #CivilEngineering #UKTransport #RoadSafety #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
