Pretty much the same as the title suggests

To simply bury the tunnel would be a tragedy and the loss of a great monument and asset. The 'Two Tunnels Trail' near Bath has been a great success when two long single-bore tunnels were unearthed and turned into a brilliant walking & cycling route. A similar restoration at Queensbury would require more much greater engineering and expense but such investment would surely be worth it.

We could easily save this tunnel if we channelled £££ more appropriately. In the 21st century very little is now beyond the capabilities of man and machine. If work started in earnest to repair Queensbury Tunnel and build a cycle/walkway through it I bet it could all be done within a year.

Its a shame but the proposed greenway will never happen due to the costs involved and how councils are strapped for cash. The only way it may stand a chance is via a gofundme

Such a waste tbh

As with all tunnel structures this was built for useful purpose, and so it should continue to do so even now. But the question of its overall upkeep has to be agreed upon. Thereafter will be of benefit to all who transit it.
