Let me know if I've posted this one before, and if so I'll kill it.
There is a nice, long road in a particular part of the UK which was once in the "open air". One day, the Department of Transport decided that, for the safety of all concerned, the road should go through a tunnel instead. So now one particular section the road, unchanged from its original course, goes through an artificial hill.
Explain, using "yes/no" questions, why they went to all that expense.

Was the hill man made first and then the tunnel built? Yes - a hill was built by men then a tunnel driven through it

Was there a landslide over that section of the road?
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Was there a rifle range nearby?
Added: I love these too. I hope it's okay for me to submit another question before the previous one is answered.

One slight correction having looked up the history book - it was not so much a hill as a sort of massive shed covering the road, open at both ends...

Okay, this doesn't really involve a river but near me there is a stretch of road going up into the mountains. At one point it was covered in a shed to prevent the snow from closing the road. Could it be that?

NoPandora is nearest so far, but it's not landslides they're worried about - they're contained by a seperate steel mesh barrier. With a large river running beside the road, what might you see if you looked up?

Here in Puget Sound we have very large cranes for loading and unloading cargo from ships. Is it to protect the drivers from crane accidents?
