Dingess is widely known for an approximately mile-long tunnel situated on a county road south of town. Originally built by Italian immigrants, for the Norfolk and Western Railway, the tunnel opened for rail traffic on September 25, 1892. It has been opened to one-lane vehicular traffic since at least the mid-1900s.[3] Another, much shorter tunnel is located between Dingess and Breeden.
