The Paw Paw Tunnel was constructed over 14 years, and in effort to save 6 miles of construction, is located in a place of steep, rocky terrain. This proved to be challenging for creation and use of the tunnel. Delays of construction can be attributed to both violence among the workers and a general underestimation of the difficult nature of the project, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company was nearly bankrupted by the end.
