The Baker–Barry Tunnel connects the former military bases Fort Barry and Fort Baker in the Marin Headlands of Marin County, California. The bases are now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The tunnel is also known as the Bunker Road Tunnel for the road that runs through it, or as the Five-Minute Tunnel because it is only wide enough to accommodate a single reversible lane, opened to traffic at either end for five minute intervals.

| - There is a road between the two forts now, but it is so poor as to be almost worthless in peaceful times and would be pitifully inadequate if a foe's fleet were outside the harbor. The present road is four and one half miles long, its grades are too steep for heavy hauling and the bluffs around which it twists adds to its perils. (en)
- This plan calls for a tunnel 2000 feet long and 8,380 feet of new roadway. It would furnish a direct highway between the two forts with no difficult grades and as nearly unexposed to hostile fire as possible. The road would have great value in peaceful times, as it would eliminate the troubles of landing cargoes from vessels at Fort Barry; but its strategic value in time of war would be far greater. (en)
