Greer Tunnel Closure & Construction

Temporary repair of the Greer Tunnel is expected to begin this week (April 24). Machinery and construction vehicles will use the trail between Linwood trailhead (MM 29) and the tunnel's east portal. The tunnel will remain closed during repair, which is expected to take a few weeks, barring unforseen complications. There is no recommended detour around the tunnel when it is closed. Nearby roads are hilly, narrow, and heavily trafficked; line-of-sight visibility is poor.
