View through the newly-completed tunnel from the north, October 29, 1954 Construction of the 300-ft. tunnel began on August 14, 1953. Seeing it after completion, a visiting Juneau resident said, "After all I'd heard in Juneau about the tunnel, I thought it must be at least a mile long. Heck, it's nothing but a gopher-hole." |
