«This tunnel was built as part of the Millennium Link project to carry the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal beneath the Antonine Wall, the Edinburgh-Glasgow (main) railway line, and Bonnyhill Road.
It thus forms the southern approach to the Falkirk Wheel.
The tunnel is short, straight and of circular section. The sides have been formed by sprayed concrete, and both entrances are of simple form. There is a railed footpath on the E side of the waterway.
