Van Buren Street Tunnel

The Van Buren Street tunnel was Chicago's third tunnel under the Chicago River. The two previous tunnels, under LaSalle and Washington Streets, were built and owned by the City of Chicago, but the Van Buren Street tunnel was a private venture. Opened in 1894, it was in intermittent use until 1952.
== History ==
In the 1880s the West Chicago Street Railroad was building four cable car lines radiating west from the downtown business district. The Chicago River shipping traffic needed movable bridges, which caused delays and could not have moving cables. The two northwest lines were routed through the Washington Street tunnel, but the two southwest lines also needed to cross the river. An 1888 ordinance allowed the W.C.S.R. to build and own a river crossing for cable or electric streetcars.
