The east underground entrance to Block 37 on the Chicago Pedway, as seen from a mezzanine of the Lake (Red Line) subway station.
Ahead is the Block 37 retail complex. The passageway through Block 37 also serves as an underground connection between the Red and Blue lines of the Chicago subway.
This photo is part of a numbered series of photos inside the Pedway that I took in April 2022. The Pedway is a network of underground pedestrian tunnels, passageways and connections in downtown Chicago.
The Pedway entrance to the Chicago Red Line subway, below State Street between Randolph and Washington. The Pedway functions as a mezzanine to the Lake (Lake/State) station of the Red Line. The Pedway also allows a connection to the Blue Line subway, which is one block west.
Block 37 is to the west, and Macy's (Marshall Fields) is to the east.
