There are a few large tunnels in Chicago, but for the below, I been to, none of them! The largest tunnels I been to is the 6-foot diameter Montrose tunnels.

-

The 3.5 foot tunnel entering into a larger tunnel: the intersection of 52nd and Central. Central is 5600 West. 52nd must be 5200 South. Damn.

The 8.5 and 7.5 foot Pratt sewer joining the 10.5 foot Glenwood sewer. Pratt is 6800 N., Glenwood is 1400 W.

I went over to the intersection of Pratt and Glenwood on the surface 1 day, as I used to live near this neighborhood in Rogers Park. The Red Line trains goes over it. I could only find a catch basin. Ah well.

These were taken in the early 1900s, and certainly before 1957.

13 foot sewer.
