The tunnel in the Garrett Hill neighborhood of Bryn Mawr closed early in November to allow crews to install a new LED lighting system in the tunnel. Both vehicle and pedestrian traffic was prohibited.
The tunnel was expected to be closed through Dec. 14 between South Roberts Road and Garrett Avenue.
The new LED system brings the tunnel's lighting up to current Pennsylvania Department of Transportation standards. According to the township, the lighting system, installed by Miller Bros., provides better safety conditions in the tunnel.
