Hong Kong Airport Core Programme – Tunnel, bridge and viaduct construction
Hong Kong’s brilliant “new” airport, Chek Lap Kok, opened in 1998. (Well, to many of us, it’s still new.) Sometime in the mid-1990s, the New Airport Projects Co-ordination Office issued a book of large (4-7/8″ x 8-3/4″) postcards and we have received some from that set, all unused, all with perforated top edge. To continue the series, this card shows “The viaduct section of Route 3 passes through Kwai Chung”. Grade: 1

Hong Kong Airport Core Programme – Largest road tunnel
Hong Kong’s brilliant “new” airport, Chek Lap Kok, opened in 1998. (Well, to many of us, it’s still new.) Sometime in the mid-1990s, the New Airport Projects Co-ordination Office issued a book of large (4-7/8″ x 8-3/4″) postcards and we have received some from that set, all unused, all with perforated top edge. To end the series, this card shows the “Western Harbour Crossing is Hong Kong’s largest cross-harbour road tunnel” (there are three). Grade: 1

Mobile, Eastern entrance to Bankhead Tunnel (Alabama, USA)
Did you know that a scene from the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind was shot in this tunnel? The caption calls this a “self liquidating traffic artery,” a description we’d never heard before. Unused E.C. Kropp card 32786. Grade: 1

Code: 39000048
Price: $2.00
Saludos desde Quito (Ecuador)
Unused older card showing San Juan Tunnels, if you can make them out. Grade: 1

Shrine in Stone Frame (South Dakota, USA)
In the pantheon of Mount Rushmore postcards, here’s one where you can’t really see it, through the tunnel in the Black Hills. Unused “local” card DK-124. Grade: 1

Code: 39000052
Price: $1.00
Rabaul, WWII Japanese Barge Tunnel (Papua New Guinea)
As of this writing, the scene pictured on this card is not overly commercialised or developed — but that may change before too long. Unused card from Post PNG, with this in the stamp area: “Domestic Postage Paid Papua New Guinea – Additional Postage required if sending overseas”. We’re also guessing there is not a lot of domestic postcard traffic in PNG. Grade: 1

Code: 39000053
Price: $7.00
Rugova Gorges, Peja (Kosovo)
Unusually for these Peja postcards, this multiview of the Rugova Gorges area has extensive captions in English and Albanian. Much as we wanted to enjoy our own visit through the Gorges, we found it better to appreciate little things like lots of ripe fruit along the roadsides, and microviews of the river, instead of the notable amounts of litter piling up. (None of that will be on a postcard.) Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 39000054
Price: $12.00
Herceg Novi, Montenegro
We believe this tunnel is a section of the former narrow gauge Čapljina–Zelenika railway line in Herceg Novi, now a walkway despite looking like a roadway on this postcard. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 39000055
Price: $2.00
West Virginia Turnpike, Memorial Tunnel (USA)
Unused Dexter Press card DT-66595-B (W-104). Grade: 1
