Hello!
I wish you would offer a drive-around route.
Can you please build a road for claustrophobic people so we can still travel on I-80?
I can't go through tunnels. This one is long and narrow, so especially difficult.
Do you have a drive-around route?
Thank you,
Anne
Wait!
1. Can I get off at the I-80 Foothill Blvd Exit (east of the tunnel) and take Old Lincoln Highway? Follow it into town (thereby missing the tunnel), then go through town and around the tunnel?
OR
2. Can I get off at the I-80 East Flaming Gorge Way Exit (Is there one? It looks like it...east of the tunnel), follow that road through town, then get back on I-80 by Penny's Diner and where Hwy 374 breaks off?
OR take Hwy 374 at that point, going parallel to I-80, take a right near Love's Travel Stop (Rd 59?), under I-80, and left on to I-80.
OR do I need to take Hwy 374 until it turns right and becomes Hwy 372, goes under I-80, then take a left onto I-80?
Then do the opposite when traveling east? Does it work in both directions?
Journey in “Faithfully” used these I-80 Twin Tunnels in Green River, Wyoming for their official music video.
Yeah, that would be a tall tunnel. It was a concatenation of 16'11" and 16'9", the vertical clearance of the two bores.
It's corrected now - and I found a webcam of the east portal. I added a link in "Sources".
You should check the vertical clearance. It seems that a decimal point might have been moved. When I ran the figure through a calculator, I got a clearance of more than 305 miles!
Ah...Bridgehunter.com is not a government entity. You'll want to direct any asks for a drive-around route to WYDOT.
Not sure how likely it is that they'd oblige, but either way, this site has no ability to make anything like that happen.
