Porter Tunnel: Difference between revisions - Grand Theft Wiki, the GTA wiki

Line 33:

=== GTA Liberty City Stories ===

In [[1998]] (the time setting of GTA Liberty City Stories), the tunnel is revealed to be only partially completed, as only the Shoreside Vale ends of the tunnel are operational, while the Shoreside Vale-Staunton stretch is still under construction; digging towards Portland had not even begun. At the time, the tunnel's future Portland exit is occupied by the Portland [[ferry]] terminal, which is temporarily shut down following city-wide protests against the construction of both [[Callahan Bridge]] and the tunnel, which will render the ferries obsolete. The ferry returns to service after compromises and assurance by a [[Miles O'Donovan|newly elected mayor]] to retain the ferry service, but was ultimately shut down, its Portland terminal cleared away for the Porter exit.

The tunnel is also exploited by [[Donald Love]] and [[Toni Cipriani]] as a route to reach [[Subway in GTA III#Disused lines|an old subway line]], where the player must plant explosives to [[Bringing the House Down|destroy]] the Italian-American district of [[Fort Staunton]].
