6. CHANNEL TUNNEL
Opened in 1994 after six years of construction connecting Great Britain with the rest of Europe. Known as the "Chunnel" Thirty-one miles long. Since they built it from both ends don't you know they were kind of hoping they'd come together at the same spot.
7. TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD
Work on it began even as the Civil War was being fought. Went eastward from Sacramento, California and west from Omaha, Nebraska. Completed with the Golden Spike in 1869.
Cross-country travel in the United States was cut from months to under a week.

A symbol of friendship between France and the United States. It was dedicated in New York Harbor in 1886.
