Abstract – A Submerged Tunnel or Submerged Floating Tunnel (SFT) is a progressive engineering solution across deep sea, river, etc. were conventional bridges and immersed tunnels face limitations. Which is also known as Archimedes bridge. It is based on buoyancy principles, they offer several advantages like minimum environmental disturbance, economical in cost and adapting underwater conditions. The design, challenges in construction, and advantages are overviewed in this paper.

Keywords: Submerged Tunnel or Submerged Floating tunnel, Buoyancy, Minimum environmental disturbance Design.
