UPDATE: The Lighthouse Tunnel will not be closed on the night of November 17. The work was completed more quickly than expected.

The Lighthouse Tunnel will close in both directions overnight on Monday and Tuesday, November 16 and 17, 2015 from approximately 8pm to 7am. The northbound lanes of the tunnel (towards Pacific Grove) will close at 8pm, followed by closure of the southbound lanes. Northbound lanes will re-open by 7am, with southbound lanes re-opening by 8am.

This is part of the City of Monterey’s removal of the fountain at Custom House Plaza (being done under an agreement with California State Parks, which owns the Plaza). Work on the plaza will continue through mid-December. Custom House Plaza will remain open to the public during the fountain removal with full access to the waterfront and Fisherman’s Wharf.

The City will take advantage of the tunnel closure to complete another project at Lighthouse curve including repairs to two manholes, part of a sewer rehabilitation project.
