The following notification has been posted to the GAP web page regarding the detour at the Paw Paw Tunnel later this month:

Update on Paw Paw Tunnel Detour and Temporary Shuttle

Contractors deployed by the C&O Canal National Historical Park to remove eroding rock material from the closed eastern portal of the Paw Paw Tunnel will begin hauling away scaled material using Tunnel Hill Trail -- the current detour for thru-travelers during the existing eastern portal closure. Beginning around August 24, the contractor will provide a temporary shuttle service between the intersection of the towpath and Tunnel Hill Trail to the intersection of Tunnel Hill Trail and Tunnel Hill Road. This shuttle is intended to run roughly 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday-Friday, every 30 minutes, through late October. Outside of these hours, the normal detour will be re-opened. Click for more information directly from the National Park Service, which can field your questions.

Has anybody experienced this contractor-provided shuttle? I'll be riding west up and over the Paw Paw Tunnel tomorrow and curious as to what to expect. I'll provide my feedback tomorrow after I go through the area.

Update: according to the National Park Service CHOH website, the shuttle service will not commence until August 29th.
