05. DOWNTOWN TUNNELS
ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE IT IN A CITY WITH
MORE THAN 2 MILLION PEOPLE, OUR DOWNTOWN
IS SWARMING WITH PEOPLE. KEEPING US SAFE
FROM HOUSTON’S HEAT AND RAIN, A SYSTEM OF
TUNNELS 20 FEET BELOW HOUSTON’S DOWNTOWN STREETS AND MORE THAN 6 MILES LONG IS
FILLED WITH HUNDREDS OF SHOPS, FAST FOOD
SPOTS AND SERVICE RETAILERS FOR PEOPLE TO
ENJOY. STARTING OUT AS A TUNNEL BETWEEN
TWO DOWNTOWN MOVIE THEATRES, TODAY IT
CONNECTS 95 CITY BLOCKS WITH DIRECT ACCESS
FROM WELLS FARGO PLAZA AND MCKINNEY
GARAGE ON MAIN AS WELL AS STREET-LEVEL STAIRS,
ESCALATORS AND ELEVATORS LOCATED INSIDE
OFFICE BUILDINGS. DUE TO THE LARGE OFFICE POPULATION IN DOWNTOWN, THE TUNNELS ARE
ONLY OPEN MONDAY–FRIDAY FROM APPROXIMATELY 6AM TO 6:30PM.
