The OpenStreetMap shows this that it would have crossed Tunnel Road, near the T-intersection where if you went straight ahead it would have changed name to 'The Bloodwoods Road'. There is a yawning gap between the girder bridge of the Railway Bridge, and the rarely used 'Rail Trail' that leads to Burringbar Tunnel.
The previous night I had driven past, in the hope I could walk the tunnel at night - well, I would have had to use my torch anyway! Only to be uncertain of where Private Property was, and where the tunnel route was. I was disconcerted when parked near a Private Property gate and saw torches moving in a line above me, only to work out this morning, that they were tourists from the Camping Ground that I ended up staying at, who were on their own way to the Tunnel, along the specific route.
The large steel girders remain supported on concrete pylons, though why the span that would have been over Tunnel Road has been removed is a mystery.
