This item is from June 25, 1926. It sounds like a Jeff Foxworthy joke: no engineer, no instruments, no problem!
POWELL COUNTY HAS MOST UNUSUAL HIGHWAY TUNNEL
“The novelty is a tunnel, 725 feet long, cut through a mountain and originally constructed for a railroad line that was abandoned. A remarkable thing about the tunnel is that it was constructed without the aid of an engineer. It has a slight elevation and, having been put through without the aid of instruments, it is an engineering feat without parallel in the state.”
