89C146 is to be found on the right, west, side of the north tunnel entrance. It is about a big foot from the left edge and a few inches above ground level.

One may park on the east shoulder at the entrance as there's a reasonably wide spot there.

Along the stretch of Trans-Canada Highway between Boston Bar and Yale are 7 tunnels, built between 1957 and 1964, as part of the Trans-Canada Highway. From South to North the tunnels are: Yale (1963), Saddle Rock (1958), Sailor Bar (1959), Alexandra (1964), Hell's Gate(1960), Ferrabee (1964) and China Bar (1961).
