Brockville Railway Tunnel is Now Open!

Brockville – The Brockville Railway Tunnel, Canada’s oldest railway tunnel has opened for the season this morning.

It is now open from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm 7 days a week.

Temporarily, the tunnel will feature white lights only and feature Brockville’s local radio station, 104.9 Move FM inside the tunnel while it is open.

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

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

When the required parts arrive, the city said 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.
