In this thread someone mentioned a tunnel underneath the NJ Turnpike near Rancocas state park. According to the post the tunnel was big enough for trackers to drive through.

Has anyone ever seen this? I hiked parallel to the turnpike from Westampton high school to the creek and passing the RC plane club but didn't see anything like this.

I think it was further north. However, I may be wrong.

Here is the deal. These are photos I took from Bing years ago. This photo shows the entrance. Take notice th stream next to it and all of the trees.

Here is the tunnel. Remember, this was years ago. 2011 to be exact.

However, there were major changes at this location and I don't think the tunnel is still there. But then again it might be.

2020. Notice the wall is new as they added two lanes to the Turnpike there.

This is not near Rancocas or even close.

Maybe. However, I don't think that is what it was made for. Looking at HistoricAerials, the farm field was cut across for the making of the turnpike. Plus, the stream had three huge tunnels.
