The Othello Tunnels
We visited the Othello Tunnels in 2019. We have a few photos. The Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park is currently closed because of flooding. The two photos help to show the level of flooding. These don’t look like the same location. I put a photo below
which I think depicts the correct ‘before’ image. Credit to B. C. Parks. Regardless, the campground, parking lot, roads and paths have been damaged or destroyed. The height of the flooding is a surprise, but the resiliance of the bridge even more so.
An excellent photo showing the canyon and tunnel before the flood.
“The river rose and filled the first two former railway tunnels, wiping out the pedestrian pathways. B. C. Parks says it is unclear how long it will take for the park to be fixed and reopened” https://ca.news.yahoo.com/south-coast-parks-including-othello- 120000351.html
Some crazy/brave person recorded the raging river! This video about the tunnels made me smile from the first words spoken, which became a huge grin as Nav showed off the scenery and her smile. Delightful.
