Everything you need to know to plan your trip to Whittier
The Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, better known as the Whittier Tunnel, is the longest dual-use, or bimodal, highway tunnel in North America. It is a unique passage into and out of the town of Whittier and the gateway to Prince William Sound and all the fun it has to offer.
Driving through a oneway tunnel shared by cars and trains (don’t worry they aren’t using it at the same time) is definitely a unique adventure to experience! It does involve some planning though. (Refer to the Whittier Tunnel Schedule.) This one lane tunnel spans 2.5 miles in length. Cars depart from Bear Valley (Portage Valley) at the top fo the hour (for a 15 minute window). Cars depart from Whittier at the bottom of the hour. For more details see our time table above.
The Whittier tunnel suggests arriving 10 minutes prior to your opening. It’s definitely NOT a waste of time to arrive early. Both staging areas offer plenty of beautiful scenery for you to soak up.
