Unusual Spaces – Exploring DC’s Underground Trolley Tracks:

Each day, thousands of residents, commuters, and visitors traverse Washington DC’s Dupont Circle, one of the most historic and iconic neighborhoods in the nation’s capital. Below its well-traveled streets, however, lies a secret unknown to many who pass above 75,000 square feet of abandoned tunnels that have remained inaccessible for most of the last 50 years.

Built in the 1940s to alleviate traffic concerns in the growing metropolis above, the tunnels allowed for trolley cars to pass under Dupont Circle and pick up passengers at two below-ground stations. Following the closure of the DC’s trolley system in the early 1960s, the tunnels were abruptly abandoned. Apart from a brief, unsuccessful venture in the mid-1990s to install a food court on the western side of the tracks, the space below Dupont has been largely forgotten by the world above. In the mid-2000s, a new organization called the Arts Coalition for the Dupont Underground was formed to pursue a new use for the space as a cultural destination. After years of petitioning, the Arts Coalition signed a five-year lease with the city in late 2014 that will provide an opportunity to test out possible future uses for the space.

The Forgotten Tunnels Under Washington DC:

This video is about Washington DC’s mole man, Dr. Harrison Dyar, and the tunnels he dug over the span of twenty years.

What do we know about this Smithsonian bug man aside from his scandalous personal life and his favorite way to pass the time?

What happened to Dr. Dyar’s catacombs in Washington DC?

Are they still in use today?

National Geographic – Why a Giant Machine Is Digging a Tunnel Under DC:

A colossal machine called the “Lady Bird” is boring a huge tunnel under Washington, DC, to channel storm water for treatment, keeping runoff out of the city’s notoriously polluted rivers. The $ 30 million machine is named for Lady Bird Johnson, who, as First Lady of the United States, had advocated for cleaner rivers around the nation’s capital.
