Dennis L. Edwards TunnelDennis L. Edwards Tunnel
Originally called the Sunset Tunnel, construction was completed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1940.
The tunnel was renamed after Dennis Edwards, a member of the District 2A staff who was killed during inspection activities in January 1999 when part of the tunnel collapsed. Closure and detour duration was approximately 5 weeks.

Alternative 1: Lining OnlyAlternative 1: Lining Only
• Replaces the tunnel lining• Replaces / rehabilitates the tunnel PCC floor
and drainage system• Installs new lighting system • Existing portals and stone masonry will remain
untouched.
32
Alternative 2: Floor LoweringAlternative 2: Floor Lowering
• Clearance achieved by removing the existing lining consisting of steel and timber sets, removing the rubble and gravel behind the existing liner, and replacing the liner with rock bolted shotcrete directly to the exposed siltstone bedrock.
• Roadway elevation will be lowered throughout the tunnel approximately 2.5 feet to achieve vertical clearance, transitioning back to existing grade approximately 700 feet on both tunnel approach sections.
• Existing portals and stone masonry will remain intact, however underpinning the portal masonry and associated concrete wall structure with new footings will be necessary.
33
Alternative 3: Portal RaisingAlternative 3: Portal Raising
• Clearance achieved by removing the existing lining consisting of steel and timber sets, removing the rubble and gravel behind the existing liner, and replacing the liner with rock bolted shotcrete directly to the exposed siltstone bedrock.
• Existing portals will be raised approximately 2.5 feet to achieve vertical clearance.
• RequireS specialized work for the historic portal stone masonry, which will be removed and replaced on a new portal wall structure at a higher elevation.

Constructability Review AgendaConstructability Review AgendaGOAL: What is the highway closure duration?
• Equipment– Dimensions– Location– What equipment will be
required to raise the portals, excavate, etc., will it fit in the tunnel
• Methods – Contingency plans for
unknowns – Roadway undercutting– What protection / shoring
methods will be required for the portals?
– Lowering the tunnel floor and roadway:
– Historic Stone Portal Removal and Reconstruction
– Specialty work required to maintain material integrity during removal and reconstruction
– Timber Lining Demolition– Shotcrete Lining Demolition
• Materials– Concrete– Masonry materials – Historic Stone Portal
Underpinning• Staging
– Raising Portals– Re-Lining – Is it feasible to lower the
tunnel floor, construct temporary ties into existing roadway, and stage approach roadway construction with single lane closures?
– Is there any methodology to keep the highway partially open?
• Durations– Existing lining removal– Roadway lowering– Rising portals: reconstruction
verses lifting– Full closure versus partials
