Drive With Me To WHITTIER ALASKA Through The Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel

Today we’re driving to Whittier, Alaska through the Whittier Alaska Tunnel, also known as the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel.
It’s the longest vehicle-railroad combined tunnel in North America and it's 2.5 miles long.
This tunnel is located about 58 miles southeast of Anchorage, Alaska, and connects Bear Valley to the small town of Whittier.
It was built in 1943 as a railroad tunnel and is used by the Alaska Railroad and cars as well.
You can drive through the tunnel by paying a single round-trip ticket that starts off at $13 per vehicle.
The tunnel only has a single lane so it runs on a schedule. You can check the Whittier tunnel schedule here: www.dot.state.a...

Who is driving to Whittier this summer? 🤩

[@CharL23]

ME!!! We're doing the 26 glacier cruise

[@AndreaAdventures]

Awesome! That’s a great tour. You’ll see so many glaciers and hopefully wildlife!

[@skipper99991]

Thanks for posting this. I've always wanted to see the whole thing

[@AndreaAdventures]

It's such a long tunnel but it's cool to come out the other side.

[@skipper99991]

@@AndreaAdventures I've thought it would be a good setting for a movie with a secret entrance to an American underground military base

[@garykos1308]

Being claustrophobic I was starting to struggle just watching.

[@AndreaAdventures]

Oh wow. It would feel like a much longer drive for you then.

[@JohnNozum]

Cool video! I also liked the DECENT music, which was in this video. Good taste! Thank you for NOT having any distorted electric guitar crap in here. I enjoyed it. Being the winter person that I am, I've had thoughts from time to time about the idea of moving to AK. May God's peace be with you--in the name of Jesus. From John Nozum in WV

[@AndreaAdventures]

Thanks

[@milepost4846]

Oh wow. Cool! Would like to see this sometime.

[@darylkik6204]

Hi Andrea, thank you for letting me ride along with you through the tunnel. Alaska is so pretty with all the mountains, snow, and history. Here in Kansas clouds are about the most exciting thing we can see. (Be nice.) Take care until we meet again.

[@AndreaAdventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrNicetux]

Great, this tunnel is really long. Norway has such crazy one lane tunnels too but without lights inside. 😞 I like to drive long tunnel, like Gotthard, Arlberg, Laerdaltunnelen or Rennsteig. @Andrea Kuuipo, your name sounds like a name from Finland.

[@AndreaAdventures]

I might go to Norway this fall so I’ll have to look into it! My second name is actually Hawaiian 🌺

[@BdManus]

Beautiful!

[@baldeepanand]

how long before the tunnel timings do you need to queue up?

[@AndreaAdventures]

You can actually still queue if the tunnel has already opened and people are already driving

[@baldeepanand]

@@AndreaAdventures We are going there next month so wanted to get a sense of how long it takes in the que leading upto the tunnel (to pay the toll and que up). How long is the queue usually? is everyone who is queued up allowed to go through or you might have to wait for the next time it opens up in an hour?

[@AndreaAdventures]

@@baldeepanand It's usually pretty quick to pay and I've never seen a situation where not everyone made it through! You'd have to be very late to have to wait for the next tunnel opening.

[@baldeepanand]

@@AndreaAdventures Thanks !

[@tarizarnetske2427]

I was there in 2002. Miss it. It was so nice to reminisce

[@rosefishingfool3781]

Seems like forever though

[@AndreaAdventures]

It does feel a lot longer!
