| Summary: | Fed up with devastating damage caused by a spate of recent floods, the Malaysian government has given the go-ahead for an unprecedented solution: construction of a six-mile long, 20-foot high storm drain directly under Kuala Lumpur -- the country's capital city -- that will siphon water from the city's airport to a holding pond out of town. To offset the cost of the $525 million dollar project, engineers have devised a way to enable the tunnel to serve double duty as a toll road for commuters, creating the only fast way into and out of the city. |
