This list lists the most important traffic tunnel structures in the Wuppertal city ​​area.

Due to its hilly topography, numerous tunnels had to be built in the 19th century, especially for the railway line of the " Wuppertal Northern Railway ". But also the federal highways , federal highways and state roads leading through the urban area require routes with flat elevation profiles for the unimpeded flow of traffic . Newer tunnel structures were also built for reasons of noise (enclosures) or nature conservation ( Burgholz tunnel ).

The Burgholz tunnel is the longest road tunnel in North Rhine-Westphalia in the urban area .
