Heroes Tunnel (formerly West Rock Tunnel) is a 1,200-foot-long (370 m),[1] twin-tube tunnel carrying Route 15 (Wilbur Cross Parkway) through West Rock Ridge in New Haven, Connecticut, opened in 1949. It is the only highway tunnel to pass beneath a natural land feature in New England,[1] although there are other types of vehicular tunnels in the region.[a]
The tunnel was originally named for the mountain through which it passes, but it was renamed Heroes Tunnel in 2003 to honor "heroes of all kinds" in the post-September 11 era.[4] In 2015, the State of Connecticut approved $200 million to fix and expand the tunnel.[5]
