Whittier, Alaska | Driving Through the Longest Highway Tunnel in North America (No Narration)
This version of the video uses on-screen captions instead of narration, allowing you to experience the drive with the natural sounds of the tunnel and road. Experience the full drive through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, the longest highway tunnel in North America, connecting the Seward Highway to Whittier, Alaska. In this video, travel both directions through the 2.5-mile tunnel that cuts through Maynard Mountain—first driving from the Bear Valley staging area into Whittier, seeing the cruise ship port, Begich Towers, and the abandoned Buckner Building, and then returning through the tunnel back toward Anchorage. Originally built during World War II as a railroad tunnel, the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel was later renovated to allow cars and trains to share the same passage through the mountain, with vehicles driving directly over the railroad tracks. Along the way, explore the history and engineering behind one of the most unusual transportation tunnels in North America. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to drive through North America's longest highway tunnel, this video shows the entire experience...from both directions.
