The Los Angeles Times described it as "the most recognizable city landmark most Americans have never heard of".[1] It is {{cvt|1500|ft}} long and lined with glossy white-glazed tiles that act similarly to a photographic light box and provide visually interesting, distorted reflections of things placed in it.[1] The tunnel was built to relieve congestion on the earlier 3rd Street Tunnel.[2] Construction began in 1916 and was completed in 1924, with its formal opening on July 25 of that year. The distinctive white tiles, which give the tunnel its glow, came from Germany, which caused controversy at the time due to Anti-German sentiment at the onset of World War I.[1] The tunnel runs from South Figueroa Street at the northwest to Hill Street at the southeast. 2nd Street also runs above for two blocks at the surface from Hill Street at the southwest to South Hope Street. In popular cultureThe tunnel is frequently used in movies – notably Blade Runner – and even more frequently in car advertisements from many manufacturers. 73 car ads were filmed in the tunnel from 2006 to 2008, averaging more than two per month.[1] It has also been used for fashion shows, including the 2004 LA Fashion Week show by designer Michelle Mason,[3][4][5] and for parties, such as the 2013 Golden Globe Awards the Art of Elysium/Audi party. The two entrances are very different in character. The west end is glamorous, with flaring buttresses. The east end is grittier.[1] Other films in which the tunnel has appeared include: The Terminal Man (1974), The Driver (1978), When a Stranger Calls (1979), Flashdance (1983), The Terminator (1984), Repo Man (1984), Sneakers (1992), Deep Cover (1992), Demolition Man (1993), Money Talks (1997), Con Air (1997), Gattaca (1997), Enemy of the State (1998), Independence Day (1996), Kill Bill (2003), Transformers (2007) and Black November (2012). It is also featured in music videos such as "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls, "We R Who We R" by Kesha, "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi, "Kings and Queens" by Thirty Seconds to Mars, "Grenade" by Bruno Mars, "Sing" by My Chemical Romance,"Protovision" by Kavinsky, "Bet" by Tinashe, "Feel Good (feat. Daya)" by Gryffin & Illenium, and "Narcissist" by Halo Circus, "Please me" by Bruno Mars & Cardi B TrafficThe tunnel has two-way traffic. It previously had four lanes (two in each direction), but in late 2013 a bike lane in each direction was added, so there are now one car lane and one bike lane in each direction.[6] See also
