Now that are getting a tunnel, we need a nickname for it at least as good as Boston's "Big Dig." It doesn't get much more succinct than "Big Dig." Say it and everybody knows what you are talking about: $14.6 Billion, more than double over budget, $22 billion including financing costs, and still leaking.
The best I am able to come up with for the new tunnel is "Greg's huge hole-in-the-ground." Maybe funny, but way too long probably, and unsuitable for headline writers.
What is your suggestion?

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
The rabbit hole went straight on like a tunnel....
