Chicago's Underground Tunnels - Chicago Pedway Tour

The Chicago Pedway is a system of tunnels that links more than 40 blocks of the downtown Chicago, covering roughly 5 miles. Used by tens of thousands of pedestrians each day, the Pedway connects numerous train stations, office buildings, retail spaces, hotels, and public buildings. The system has continually grown since its conception in the 1950s to become an integral part of Chicago's urban infrastructure providing convenience and comfort, particularly during harsh winters and sweltering summers. The patchwork nature of the system gives it a very unique character. Some portions are simply utilitarian hallways while others have a more creative, expressive design. While walking through the Pedway, you may encounter art exhibits, murals, pop-up shops, any number of other unexpected gems. In this tour, I begin at the Washington Blue Line CTA station. I then cross beneath the Cook County Admin Building and the Daley Center. From there, one could walk west to reach City Hall, but I instead walk east to the Block 37 shopping mall, which is flanked by the Blue and Red Line Lake Street CTA stations on either side. Continuing east, I pass beneath a few more Loop buildings through a portion of the Pedway that includes entrances to a Macy's, an LA fitness, and the Chicago Cultural Center. To the east of the Chicago Cultural Center is Millennium Station, a Metra Commuter Rail station located underground beneath Millennium Park. Most maps of the Pedway don't tell you this, but you can actually use the train platforms here to cross north to Michigan Plaza and the Illinois Center. I do this then turn east again to reach a few more office buildings and hotels before finally concluding the tour at the Radisson Blu.
