The invention is comprised of a tubular guideway structure having open sides located on opposite sides of the structure, which function as a travel medium for high speed air-cushioned vehicles. The open sides of the tubular structure permit air to escape, thereby precluding a piston effect, and simultaneously provides for passenger viewing of the environment. Louvers may selectively be closed to protect the internal tubular structure from inclement weather conditions.
