The Oneonta Tunnel runs directly through Oneonta Bluff. The Oneonta Tunnel was built in the 1930s to accommodate a new portion of the Columbia River Highway. A railroad had already been built directly against the Oneonta Bluff, so the most efficient option was to blast directly through the bluff. During the 1930s and 1940s, the Oregon Highway Department closed access to the Oneonta Tunnel as part of its plan to modernize the Columbia River Highway. The Oneonta Tunnel remained decommissioned until 1986 when legislature was introduced to reconnect historic portions of the Columbia River Highway to the new one. The Oneonta Tunnel was restored in 2006. Unfortunately, the Oneonta Tunnel fell victim to vandalism and the catastrophic Eagle Creek Fire in 2017. However, there are plans to restore the tunnel once again. Restorations to the Oneonta Tunnel are planned for late 2020 into 2021.

This postcard shows a view looking straight through the tunnel with its iconic five arched windows visible to the left.

Currently, the Oregon Department of Transportation is considering a plan to recreate the tunnel as part of an effort to restore the historic Columbia River Highway.
