My understanding is that the Paw Paw Tunnel will be closed sometime this year so that they can remove loose rocks, and gravel from above.

Does anyone know the time frame as to when this is supposed to take place? I'm planning on leaving Cumberland and hiking to Harpers Ferry on May 6. Thanks.

See the NPS website for updates. The latest word there is that the tunnel renovations will begin early May but that the tunnel will remain open and flaggers will control the flow of traffic. Expect 10 to 15 minute delay.

Thanks Cenzo. I've hiked the trail before, I just wasn't looking forward to the thought of having to hike over the mountain. :)
