What do you call a tunnel under a road?

underpass, subway - an underground tunnel or passage enabling pedestrians to cross a road or railway.

Why escape tunnel is provided?

In road and rail tunnels, narrower escape tunnels are provided to enable people to escape on foot in the event of a fire or other accident in the main tunnel. For example, between the two main bores of the Channel Tunnel is an access tunnel large enough to take a fire engine.

How do prisoners dig tunnels?

Prisoners can start digging a tunnel out of their Cell or Dormitory (not Holding Cells), using the fastest route to the outer-most wall beyond the prison area. A tool, such as a spoon, is required to dig. Many weapons (e.g. knives, forks) can also be used as a tool to dig tunnels.

What were some of the methods used by the prisoners to hide the tunnels?

The prisoners made tools out of tin cans and used wood from their beds to support the tunnel walls and keep them from collapsing. To hide the dirt produced by tunnelling, the men carried it in their trousers and scattered it, as inconspicuously as possible, on vegetable patches and elsewhere in the prison grounds.
