The west portal of North Delta Irrigation Company’s collapsed tunnel under Cory Bluff was being reopened last week by the contractor who plans to install the quarter-mile-long bore with 54-inch diameter, thick walled pipe. The tunnel was dug by area pioneers 110 years ago. It is part of a system that carries water form the Gunnison River at Austin to irrigators north of Delta.
