Here is the photo taken by our tour leader when we exited the # Modane Underground Laboratory. That is the tunnel highway between us and the tour leader. He then helped us safely cross the highway before we departed back to the surface building. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/da7d6201cf59b14a6772646038ac180cb246beac21fe1c28b125720510c6da25/view
