Decades later, many from Lancashire and beyond have passed on the tradition
A decades-old tradition that drivers from Lancashire and beyond possibly mistook for a noisy tunnel is in fact something else entirely.
Today, the expressway carries an increasing volume of traffic each year. But decades ago, two workers reportedly lost their lives in the process - but their memory has always endured, North Wales Live reports.Not a lot is known from that time, but we do know workers involved in the project were brought in from elsewhere in North Wales, many being coal miners forced out of a job by the Great Depression. One man was reportedly told "help dig the Penmanbach tunnel or lose your dole.
"It is the “beep beep” tunnel! As locals, this tunnel means a lot but for those of you wonderful travellers that may not know, there is a reason we beep twice . When the tunnel was being constructed, we sadly lost 2 men to the build. Out of a mark of respect to them, the tunnel received 2 beeps from travellers as they passed through. This still continues today."
