Three landfills are located in the eastern part of the Chengdu City, and two traffic tunnels pass beneath the south portion of landfill-1. The landfills have a simple leachate collection system without any bottom liner and impermeable wall, which causes a severe corrosion of the traffic tunnels from 175 to 250 m in the test section. In order to explore how the traffic tunnels impact the transport path of contaminants infiltrating from landfills, a groundwater flow model and a solute transport model were established in the present study. It was found that, after 16 years of operation, the traffic tunnels will accelerate the vertical migration of sulfate ions in the area between the tunnels. Furthermore, 64 water samples along the traffic tunnels were collected to test the concentration of the contaminants. According to the distribution mechanism of the measured concentrations in the traffic tunnels, a preliminary treatment plan was proposed to control the further corrosion of the tunnels and the spread of the contaminants.
