Brockville Railway Tunnel to Open for the Season May 17th

Brockville – The City of Brockville announced today in a press release that the Railway Tunnel will open for the season on Friday, May 17th.

They say for the time being, the tunnel will feature white lights only and feature Brockville’s local radio station, 104.9 Move FM inside the tunnel when it opens.

The release states that the city will continue to work on repairs and upgrades to bring back the colour show in all its glory. The show will be back in full force as soon as the required parts arrive and can be installed and programmed, which they estimate will be mid-summer.

“Until then, we hope that you can get out and enjoy the tunnel, as one of Brockville’s premier attractions. Panels inside the tunnel provide historical context and interesting facts about the attraction.” said the release

“The white lights provide the best opportunity to observe the unique geological features of the tunnel, so we encourage you to take this opportunity to dive into the history and science of the tunnel when you visit.”

Admission into the tunnel is free, although donations are greatly appreciated. Secure donation bins can be found inside the tunnel itself, or you can make a donation to the tunnel online.

The tunnel will be open from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm 7 days a week.

The city also said that when the parts arrive, the tunnel may need to close for a week to undergo those repairs as quickly as possible, and if that happens they will post an update on the city’s website, tunnel website, and their social media channels so that everyone can plan accordingly.

“We thank you for your patience with this as we work through these repairs, and look forward to seeing you all out enjoying the tunnel this summer.” said the release
