To Images of Whittier, Alaska

Driving through the tunnel on July 3, 2004. The engineering is very impressive. Among many other features, at eight locations in the tunnel there is a vehicle turnout for use if a vehicle is disabled, and at each turnout there is a safehouse for use in the event of a tunnel fire.
