You can definitely drive into the beginning of it at least. There is a parking garage at 360 state st and the entrance to it is in the tunnel. http://elmcityparking.com/rates-info/

Thank you for your comments Danny. Do you know if there is more than just parking garage? According to an old reddit thread, sounds like there is more to explore on foot than just the garage.. Any info would be appreciated!

From the comments:

>We used to skate down there. You can also get in on Elm st and fuck around, but they close down the gates to keep people out and security has cameras all over the place.

And someone else talks about going there in 2010.

I just want to make sure you realize that from that thread from 5 yr ago that you cite, that before we were were talking about 2 different tunnel structures entirely. Posts about Pitkin Tunnel now in 2022 are entirely accurate. However, the old post you cited, the “Elm St entrance” was referring to Pitkin Tunnel, but they did not realize we were talking about the tunnel loop structure under Chapel Square, entirely separate.

That thread/pic is not pitkin st tunnel. Theres just a few loading docks and two parking garage entrances in pitkin st tunnel. Its used for commercial deliveries mostly.
