The Chunnel is 31 miles long, granted it's a rail line but it still carries similar risks. I would assume that it would not be three open lanes of travel, but more like three restricted lanes, i.e. you enter in lane 1; you can't merge into lane 2 or 3 unless there is an accident in lane 1. The emergency middle tunnel will likely be large enough to carry all sorts of emergency vehicles and construction equipment.
It'll require tons of safety, security, and traffic management systems to work efficiently. It will be well worth the $25 price of admission, especially considering it'll likely cut travel time by hours.
The project will be a tough sell to the residents of both Rye and Oyster Bay. Both of which are affluent areas.
