4th Avenue Underpass - Tucson, AZ

The old 4th Avenue underpass

For over two years the 4th Avenue underpass has been getting a makeover to help get ready for a modern street car (currently the trolley will be used - street car will go further and faster in the future). The underpass unites 4th Avenue and Downtown Tucson and feels like the center of places that we frequent. On Thursday evening there was a huge party for the opening of the underpass. Many photos to follow - it was a great night and I am very impressed with the underpass! A good night for Tucson.

Becca - this is crazy - so modern! Does it still flood? Is it safe to use at night? I cannot wait to check it out in person.

No floods yet but it hasn't been open for a crazy monsoon yet. It feels totally safe at night and we ride our bikes through it. Love it!! Yeah Tucson!
