Are the tunnels within the range of cell phone coverage?
While the author of this page has not personally tried using his cell phone along the old roadway, it has been commonly mentioned that cell phones do work in that area. This is most likely due to the close proximity of the old roadway to the current routing of the turnpike. Emergencies, accidents and break-downs on the modern routing of the turnpike are reported by cell phone using *11.
