Regional district eyeing possibility of reopening historic Adra Tunnel on KVR Trail
said it’s undertaking a study regarding the historic Adra Tunnel, which is located above Naramata.
“A plan has been developed to clear debris in the tunnel, complete a rock structure survey and develop plans for stabilizing the tunnel,” said the RDOS.“Any future reopening will be contingent on whether it is technically and financially feasible to do so in a way that is safe for trail users.” The Adra Tunnel was closed in the early 1990s due to unstable conditions. Further, deliberately set fires in the tunnel in 2010 and 2012 destroyed the remaining timber supports, further deteriorating tunnel stability.The 483-metre-long tunnel was originally excavated in 1913-14 as part of the development of the Kettle Valley Railway .
