Review & FAQ:

The Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel is the longest highway tunnel in the world to travel through a mountain. It is the only way to get to Whittier by road and rail, so you’ll definitely go through it during your travels there. The tunnel itself is over 2 ½ miles long and was specifically designed for the fluctuating temperatures of the area. The one-lane tunnel is shared by trains and cars and has a unique design which allows for vehicles to travel directly over the railroad track. While there, keep in mind that there is a toll for private vehicles to go through the tunnel and that there may be a delay before you can enter. Map
