How early would you wake up to be one of the 1st through the new tunnel?
The new airport tunnel officially opened to drivers at 5 a.m. MT Sunday — and sure enough, there were a few Calgarians who woke up early to take the first drive.
Ed Tanas, who tweets at @CalgaryKiaGuy, was up just in time for the early opening.
According to his YouTube video of the drive, Tanas went through the new tunnel in the westbound lane at 5:08 a.m. before turning back around to go through the eastbound tunnel.
There's even a soundtrack to go along with the ride — however, the satellite signal cuts out inside the tunnel.
