DUE TO COVID 19, THE FOLLOWING RULES ARE IN PLACE:
Please follow the public health guidelines and be courteous to others enjoying this historic landmark:
• Face coverings/masks will need to be worn as the tunnel is considered a confined space. Failure to wear a mask can result in tunnel closing early.
• Please stay to the right and respect physical distancing with no congregating.

- For your safety, the tunnel is under video surveillance and there are POLICE CALL buttons at the information stations throughout the tunnel.
