Question: Which state is home to the longest car tunnel in the U.S.?

Answer: The Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, better known as the Whittier Tunnel, extends 2.5 miles through Maynard Mountain in Alaska, making it the longest highway tunnel in North America. Built during World War II, it now serves as the only road into the tiny port town of Whittier. What makes it especially unique is that cars and trains share the same narrow passage, taking turns on a timed schedule.
