Altered image of a tunnel with light at the end
The phrase the light at the end of the tunnel means hope after a long or difficult time. It suggests that problems will eventually end. This idiom is derived from the feeling you get after travelling underground for a long time and finally seeing the light that means you are about to come out the other end.

After months of work, we could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
