2348 days or 335 weeks and 3 days or 77 months and 5 days or, if you like the yearly format, 6 years, 5 months and 5 days. Construction on the service tunnel began on tuesday, December 1, 1987 from both the UK and French shores, and in December 1990 the service tunnels broke through at the halfway point.
The main rail tunnels met on May 22, 1991 and on June 28, 1991, each accompanied by a breakthrough ceremony.
The next few years were spent refining, equipping, and finishing the tunnels. In 1994 the Channel Tunnel was considered completed.
The tunnel was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II and French President François Mitterrand in a ceremony held in Calais on 6 May 1994.
