Exclamation Beware of various tunnel heights

If you are familiar with tunnels south of 466 and have had no problems it is important to know that tunnels north of 466 have different dimensions. Hug the center line especially if you have a four seater with a roof extension over the back seat. The "line" that you take through the tunnel south can be a top banger north.

Evidently all the tunnels north of 466. A previous poster contacted the VCCD for the following information:

For the tunnels north of 466 the highest point of the tunnel (center) is 82". The shortest point is along the curve which is 66". The tunnels south of 466, highest point - 99" in the center, sides along curve - 85".

As you can see this is quite a difference.

Thanks for the "heads up". Pun intended, but seriously, that's helpful information for anyone who might have a taller cart.

When we had our ParCar with 13 inch wheels, we had to drive down the middle of the tunnels north of 466.

One day, headed over to Saddlebrook, there was a cart actually stuck in the tunnel...hubby and our golfing partners helped by climbing on board to lower the cart because of weight and it was on its way.
