Does anybody know what the metal sheets were put on the sides inside the tunnel for?
Also, it seems they did some of the roof but not all of it......any ideas as to what it is all about?
I did hear it was to hide the cracks from where the tunnel is caving in, but struggle to believe that.

but it's probably to divert the water from cracks so it doesn't drop on windscreens - think about it - you're driving through, you don't expect "rain " and it just might cause an accident.

As I remember, it was to do with improved lighting - increasing the reflectivity of the walls and so making more efficient use of the emitted light - new lights were installed at the same time i think.

It was supposed to reduce the need for cleaning and maintenance. It was a bit of a disaster because some of the panels were warped. I assumed that it was supposed to be fitted all over the roof but they eventually gave up.
