Chicago Pedway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chicago Pedway, covering over 40 blocks of downtown Chicago, Illinois, helps pedestrians traverse this area city during inclement weather. This network of tunnels and overhead bridges connects skyscrapers, retail stores, hotels and train stations throughout the central business district and contains shops, restaurants and public art. Construction on the Pedway began in 1951 and it has continued since then, especially after expansion of it was included in the Chicago 21 Plan, introduced in 1973. Most connections to the pedway are commercial or governmental in purpose. The Heritage at Millennium Park (130 N. Garland Court), and the Park Millenium (222 N. Columbus Dr.) are currently the only residential buildings connected to the pedway.
