The Sanoria Channel Bridge-Tunnel, officially the Sanoria Channel Bridge-Tunnel and Causeway System, is a 170 kilometres (105.6 mi) crossing over the Sanoria Channel between the Cartadanian states of Alexandria and San Rícardo. Connecting the city of New Venceia and Rícardo County, it forms the western portion of the larger Tropicana Expressway and more largely, I-68.
Completed in 2014, the SCBT is the second-most expensive individual federal highway project in the country, preceded only by the Marée Channel Bridge-Tunnel, which adjoins the Tropicana Expressway and connects San Rícardo to Milan.
