Saddlebrook tunnel not that dark. Probably the lightest tunnel due to direction in relationship to sun. But, I sure it’s on the schedule.

Ironic that The tunnel that was painted a few yrs ago that I mentioned faces the same direction as Saddlebrook. I don’t believe my comment mentioned it being dark. Why would Saddlebrook be the only one not mentioned in the list was my question.

interesting mention of 'paint' - an inferior finish for concrete,,, hopefully you meant the verb & NOT the noun

Why wouldn't they paint these tunnels in the off months?

Maintenence work is done year round. Besides, work done in the summer leads to "Why do they inconvenience us full timers?" comments.
