First motorized vehicles to Alpine Tunnel in a long time (video)

Kurt Maechner
The DSP&P forum shared a video of a jeep trip over Williams Pass that was able to reach the west portal of Alpine Tunnel. Thanks to the work done to make the route passable, this was among the first motorized visitors to the tunnel complex in a long time.  The route has been blocked to motor traffic since an avalanche took a big chuck out of the roadbed and rock walls at the Palisades in 2016.  

The video is a great encouragement that plans to restore access and the rock wall are in motion step-by-step.
Enjoy,
Kurt
