Mash-Up On Russian Moterway

This is the Lefortovo tunnel in Moscow, Russia. It's 2.2 km (1.367 miles) long, making it is the third longest in-city tunnel of Europe. It's also insane: the tunnel runs under the Yauza River, and water leaks in at some points. When the temperature reaches −38 degrees Celsius as during the winter of 2005, the road surface can freeze.

This video was taken during a single day with the tunnel monitoring camera.
