And before anyone drives their cars down the freshly paved road, people come from all over to bike, scoot, walk, skate or just eat a sausage on the new road.
You meet friends about halfway through and stop to talk in the freezing dampness.
And a free ride in a rolling car effectively scares you about what would happen if you were to violate any traffic rules.

Well its about time, right Alli.. finally finished and no more going around the mountain. I bet everyone is jumping for joy. I remember when you first posted about this tunnel being built.. ever so slowly.

The rolling car looks like fun :).
what a great 'opening day' tradition! you can keep the rolling car, though!
How neat is that!
Illinois redid some of the toll booths on 94/294...Can you imagine what it would be like if they did this after each one was finished?
What a great tradition...
Wow, what a way to celebrate! Carla
That is awesome! Except for the rolling car, which looks absolutely terrifying. o.O
That is a great way to open the tunnel!
Loved the photos Alison.

What a fun time, i will pass on the rolling ride.Another sandwich please.
Very cool -- I would not be able to get in the *rolling car* however. I have vertigo. :)
Wow! Such a hoot-a-nanny! That would never happen here. I like that it is still sunny and people are wearing shorts where you're at. I woke to the sound of pouring rain at 4:30 this morning.
Love you!
What a great wy to celebrate a roadway. You know this isn't the way it's done in the states, sadly.
Looks like fun. Don't know about the sausage but if there is ice cream I will race anyone to the end.
That is a wonderful way to do things!!! I wish we did that here. I'd try to be the first to run down the road;)
