Wabash Tunnel Reopens July 27
The Wabash Tunnel will reopen Saturday, July 27, at 6 a.m. after a long-term closure for repairs to its gates and traffic control systems.
The reopened tunnel will provide another option for motorists during the 17-day outbound Liberty Tunnel closure and two-year closure of outbound West Carson Street.
Motorists should be advised of a change in the tunnel’s operating hours. The tunnel will no longer be open overnight (from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.). The change in operating hours was adopted by Port Authority’s Board in April following an extensive police and safety review.
All other operating hours, including HOV-2 restrictions during peak periods, remain unchanged and are posted on our Wabash Tunnel webpage.
Inbound access to the tunnel was closed in late October when a tractor trailer accident damaged the gates that allow Port Authority to safely control the direction of auto traffic. The tunnel was closed to outbound traffic earlier this year so that the gates and traffic control software could be replaced, but repair progress was hampered by additional accidents and procurement delays. Minor software-related work remains, but can be completed without significant impact to tunnel traffic.

Wabash Tunnel Repairs Start Monday, Requiring Multi-Week Closure
The Wabash Tunnel will close completely for 3-4 weeks beginning Monday, April 15 at 6 a.m. so that Port Authority contractors may begin installation of four new traffic control gates. This work will help restore inbound access to the tunnel, which has been closed since the fall.
Inbound access to the tunnel was closed in late October when a tractor trailer accident damaged the gates that allow Port Authority to safely control the direction of auto traffic. Since then, efforts to repair the damage and reopen the tunnel to inbound motorists have been hampered by two additional accidents and delays in procuring replacement parts.
Completion of repairs and restoration of all traffic access is expected by the end of May.
The Wabash Tunnel provides a shortcut for motorists between Route 51 and the South Side. No Port Authority transit service operates through the tunnel.
Port Authority apologizes for the inconvenience caused by the delayed repair efforts and thanks tunnel users for their patience.
