my father took me to cross it the night when it was opened. it was amazing like a symbol of a new era but ...in the wrong way. nobody knows how it's still there
I'm trying to remember what pedestrian access is like for the tunnel. We were on a bus, so we didn't get a great look at it. Looking at the images, it looks like if you don't have a vehicle, you have to go all the way around the bay. Are bicycles allowed in the tunnel?
I believe there are special busses that shuttle bicycle riders - and their bikes - through the tunnel. At least, that's how it used to work. I don't think pedestrians are allowed to walk through.

Yeah, that tunnel is something else, a real feat of engineering. I wrote about that in 2009:
