Special to The Oak Ridger TVA has discovered a mysterious tunnel on its land in Norris. Located at TVA’s Norris Engineering Labs, the previously hidden tunnel had been buried beneath the surface for decades with no records or indication of its existence until now. Found during routine work as part of the Norris consolidation and renovation, the tunnel measures 40-feet long and 10-feet wide, and is complete with spider webs, mice and dark creepy corners. “Access to the tunnel is currently prohibited due to environmental, health and safety concerns; however through a collaborative effort with TVA’s Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) program, we are able to explore the interior,” Cindy Light, Norris Consolidation Project manager, stated in a news release. “This drone footage is the first time anyone’s seen the inside of the tunnel since it was closed up, likely 30 to 40 years ago, if not more.”
