Construit en 1931.
Les 2 tunnels au centre servaient aux tramways et les 2 autres aux extrémités aux autos. Les piétons pouvaient emprunter celui de droite.
Les derniers tramways à Montréal disparurent en 1959. Cependant, les tunnels pour auto opèrent jusqu'à la construction d'un pont en 1995.
Aujourd'hui, certains spectacles parallèles s'y donnent occasionnellement.
Le côté sud a été remblayé.

Built in 1931.
The two tunnels in the center were used by trams and the 2 other for cars. Pedestrians could borrow the right one.
The last streetcars disappeared in Montreal in 1959. However, the 2 tunnels for cars operated until 1990 when a new brige was built.
Today, some "underground shows or arts" are occasionally given inside.
The south side don't exist anymore.
