What is Canal de Marseille au Rhône?
The '''Canal de Marseille au Rhône''' connects the [[Mediterranean Sea]] at [[Marseille]] to the [[Rhône]] at [[Arles]]. It is 81 kilometres (50 miles) long. The section between [[Marignane]] and Marseille has been closed since the collapse of the Rove Tunnel in 1963. It was built between 1906 and 1927. The Rove tunnel is the longest canal tunnel in the world - 7,120 metres (23,360 ft). <ref>{{Cite news|date=1927-05-02|title=Science: Tunnel|language=en-US|work=Time|url=https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,751685,00.html|access-date=2023-04-19|issn=0040-781X}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Canals in France]]
