The channel tunnel is, on average, 45m below the seabed. (1)

The ocean depth between Dover and Calais is, on average, 50m. (2)

No, they are two different tunnels, although both connect Manhattan to New Jersey. They span the Hudson River and are only about two or three miles apart.

In what part of New York is the Holland Tunnel located?

Asked by Wiki User

The Holland Tunnel traverses the Hudson River and connects Manhattan to New Jersey. The Holland Tunnel traverses the water at Spring Street in Lower Manhattan. Canal Street also veers north diagonally to almost meet Spring Street at the entrance to the tunnel. So the tunnel is located at the almost-intersection of Canal and Spring Streets.
