The only hint of there being something different under that stretch of 108th was in the early 70s they did a botched job of resurfacing. The roadway was warped and buckling for years until they had money again to fix it...but you could clearly make out where the tunnel walls had been because their lines stood out clearly. I had seen those and wondered why they had built the street like that...it wasn't until that gig I had with Cord Meyer that I found out what the story was. It would seem they didn't retain much, if anything, of the original roof to support the roadway after they ran the new utilities. |
