Richmond Raceway Reimagined hit a milestone with the installation of the new pedestrian tunnel. The $30 million infield redevelopment project at Richmond Raceway has been moving forward since the groundbreaking in September. The expanded pedestrian tunnel installed near Turn 1 will allow more fans to have access to the modernized infield. The new modernized infield will open over the fall race weekend, presented by Who's Your Driver, on September 21-22, 2018.
The construction milestone was marked by long-time RICHMOND NATION member, Dean Lewis, who signed the pedestrian tunnel for our loyal season ticket holders. Lewis has attended races and camped at Richmond since 1974.
The expanded width of the new pedestrian tunnel will allow more fans to comfortably travel to and from the new infield. The ADA Accessible tunnel also includes an elevator for more convenient transportation for all fans. The tunnel measures 415 linear feet comprised of 10’x10’ concrete boxes and weighs 1,100 tons.
It took 55 tractor trailers to deliver the pedestrian tunnel. A crane standing 282 feet high, the tallest structure in Henrico County, and weighing one million pounds is being used in the installation of the tunnel. To deliver the crane, it took 30 tractor trailer loads.
