The Ellicott City North Tunnel is a cornerstone of Howard County’s Safe and Sound Plan for Ellicott City. The roughly 1-mile long, 18’ diameter tunnel began construction in 2024. When complete, the tunnel will divert stormwater from high flow storm events in the Tiber-Hudson River around Ellicott City to mitigate flooding. This presentation provides a detailed look at the tunnel from a runoff perspective, following a raindrop in the watershed headwaters through the North Tunnel diversion structures and various tunnel features. Along the way, the audience will gain an understanding of unique tunnel design elements, their function, and ongoing construction efforts.
