HISTORY In the 1880s the Cable Car companies took over the tunnel, and it was used for cable car service until 1906 . The Reversing Of The Chicago River exposed the tunnel in 1900 and a wider, deeper replacement was built in Drydock from Steel plate and lowered into a trench in the riverbed. It opened to electric streetcar service in 1911 - 1912 . The LaSalle Street tunnel was in use until November, 1939 , when it was closed during the construction of the Dearborn Street subway. |
