D tunnel; D-shaped tunnel Explanation: I believe "túnel bala" has nothing to do with bullet trains. Being that its construction is in Mariana, a small town with approx. 58,000 people (according to the 2014 census), there is no justification for such high-speed transport. As Mariana was at the heart of a highly destructive environment disaster, most likely this tunnel project has to do with the construction of a drainage system in the form of a D tunnel (hopefully, to avoid similar disasters in the future). As mentioned elsewhere, the tunnel is "bullet-shaped".

Reference: Imagens e explicação Reference information: Tenho a impressão que "bala" tem mais a ver com o formato do túnel. Aqui explica o que é: http://completaengenharia.com.br/novo/index.php/tunel-bala/ Numa tradução mais literal, talvez algo como "bullet-shaped tunnel", mas não consegui validar essa tradução. |
