The Homer Tunnel took over 20 years to complete and was constructed through a world war and the depression. 

Milford Sound was inaccessible by road until 1953 when the Homer Tunnel was completed. The tunnel is 945 metres above sea level and is 1.2km long. 以下有關荷馬隧道的介紹　取自：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_Tunnel

The tunnel is straight, and was originally single-lane and gravel-surfaced. The tunnel walls remain unlined granite. The east portal end is at 945 m elevation; the tunnel runs 1270 m at approximately a 1:10 gradient down to the western portal. Until it was sealed and enlarged it was the longest gravel-surfaced tunnel in the world. It runs between the valley of the Eglinton and Hollyford Rivers to the east and that of the Cleddau to the west.

In 2002 a tour bus carrying tourists from Singapore caught fire inside the tunnel, halting 150m from the eastern portal. The passengers, including the bus driver, had to tread through the pitched dark and smoke-filled tunnel to safety with the help of head beams from vehicular traffic at the entrance of the eastern portal. However, two passengers got separated and made their way to the Milford end. Three people were treated for smoke inhalation.

Traffic through the tunnel reaches about 800 vehicles a day in summer, with about 100 tour buses.
