Subject: Cleaning of Tunnel Type: Plan
Question Date: 8/19/2025 1:10:53 PM
Will the existing condition of the tunnel, if not cleaned, affect the performance of the new tunnel fixtures? Was cleaning taken into consideration with the calculations of minimum light levels, per TL-601.  
Answer   Date: 8/21/2025 2:14:15 PM
The existing conditions of the tunnel should not affect the performance of the individual new fixtures. The existing conditions of the tunnel may have an overall effect on the performance of the lighting system, however, it is incumbent upon VDOT to clean the tunnel. The lighting calculations are not based on a pristine tunnel. A minor buildup of dirt is taken into consideration. The minimum light level requirements are based on standard tunnel code text.
