The term "enclosure" is used when a tunnel is created by enclosing a road in an open-cast working method with construction elements. The tunnels are not therefore created by drilling or blasting. The enclosure in Zurich-Schwamendingen will improve the quality of life in the neighbourhood through reduced noise pollution, less air pollution and more green and open spaces due to the newly created park on top of the enclosure.
