The old wooden escalators of the Tunnel of Antwerp, Sint Anna tunnel

The Saint Anna tunnel is a pedestrian and bicycle tunnel under the Scheldt in the city of Antwerp. The construction of the Sint-Annatunnel started in 1931 and the tunnel was opened in 1933.
This 572 meter long tunnel, which is 31.57 meters underground, is also called the Pedestrian Tunnel by the people of Antwerp and has been connecting the city with the Linkeroever since 1933, in other words the older with the newer Antwerp. Both sides have a lift for 40 people or a maximum of 3,000 kg, and two times two authentic wooden escalators. These escalators were a real novelty for that time. The external diameter of the tunnel is 4.74 m, the internal diameter is 4.30 m. Both entrance buildings were designed by Emiel Van Averbeke.
