The tunnel from Middlesboro to Harrogate

Middlesboro, KentuckyJun 26, 20110 Comments

Do not go through "The Tunnel" on a Thursday, Friday or Sunday evening after 8PM because both states have roadblocks you can’t escape from along both directions and are engaged in a fundraising/DUI stop so be clean cut, have a collared shirt on and don’t even have a drop of alcohol long before driving that way or you’ll be waved to a secondary DUI check and arrested
when the cops trick you into being guilty. This is strictly to gain revenue for the town and to intimidate LMU students. They will ask you if you’ve had anything to drink, are taking any drugs, and have smoked anything several times and ways. Even if you drank coffee, took an allergy pill and smoked a cigarette, answer NO or they’ll arrest you for being guilty of something illegal. If you have an import, out of state plates or look like an LMU Student, be very careful. Moving radar is always off by 5 mph, so you’re bound to get a ticket if they feel like catching you.

The entire SR 63 from I-75 in Jacksboro to Middlesboro, Kentucky through Harrogate is full of speed traps where the road curves and they can hide. One or more moving TN HP cars are also ticketing any moving car they want because it’s mostly "rich" LMU students coming through that won’t fight the ticket so if you have an import, out of state plates or look like an LMU Student, be very careful. Trust me, your intuition is correct, there is no way you broke the law and were speeding. Moving radar is always off by 5 mph, so you’re bound to get a ticket if they feel like catching you. Their goal is at least 3 cars PER HOUR, so if you haven’t seen anyone pulled over in the last 20 minutes, that means YOU will be pulled over next until the Federal Government or TBI steps in.
