Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NRA) News Release

For Immediate Release: June 23, 2005                                                Release #: 34-05

Contact:  Roxanne Dey, 702.293.8947

           

Temporary Closure of Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail

For Rehabilitation Project

 On June 28, 2005, the National Park Service will temporarily close the popular Railroad Tunnel Trail in Lake Mead National Recreation Area.  This temporary closure is necessary for a rehabilitation project that will include:  scaling loose rock, applying sprayed concrete to tunnel ceilings and walls, and repairing timber work at the exits of the tunnels. 

 The National Park Service is doing this work in the hot summer months when hiking is not recommended.  The tunnels are scheduled to be reopened just in time for hiking season about mid-September 2005.  “We want to thank visitors who regularly hike the Railroad Tunnel Trail for their patience during this rehabilitation project.  This work and temporary closure is necessary to ensure the tunnels remain safe for the public.  We think visitors will be very pleased with the results,” said Superintendent Bill Dickinson.

Although the National Park Service does not recommend hiking in the hot summer months, there are several alternative trails in the area for people who like to hike in the early morning hours.  Please visit the Alan Bible Visitor Center for information on other trails near the tunnels.  The phone number at the visitor center is 702.293.8990. 

The project will cost $271,084 and is being funded through the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act and the Nevada Division of Transportation.  The contractor is Harrison and Western out of Denver, Colorado
