Title:
Wawona Tunnel, Road, Roadway, Highway, Highway-41
The Wawona Tunnel was constructed in 1933. It carries Highway-41 through it. It is 1,290 meters (4,233 feet) long. An engineering feat at its time, this tunnel included power lines, carbon monoxide sensors and high-speed fans. It took nearly two years to drill the tunnel. Workers used 275 tons of blasting power, permitting the workers to progress about 20 feet a day.

The burning of fossil fuels by all industry is not sustainable! Our automotive industry (and ALL of US) is in such denial even though they/we tend to espouse green credentials through EV's and other schemes. This charade will be one of the many atrocities that destroy a human habitable world. Though the Earth does not care, WE as the dominant species should! To drive is to massively pollute! To massivally pollute now brings us into the seventh great extinction of world history.
