DOWNTOWN HOUSTON’S
“underground“ is a system
of tunnels 20 feet below the
streets that extends more
than 6 miles. Having started
out years ago as a tunnel be-
tween two downtown movie
theaters, today it includes
restaurants and service retail
and connects 95 city blocks.
Only Wells Fargo Plaza and
McKinney Garage on Main
offers direct access from the
street to the tunnel; otherwise,
entry points are from street-level
stairs, escalators and elevators
located inside office buildings that
are connected to the tunnel.
