The west portal

This tunnel provides access to parkland that is trapped between the old railroad berm and the river, by tunneling under the berm. There is a loop here that simply sends traffic back under the bridge/tunnel. There is a restaurant and lodge on this side of the tunnel, and a pavilion, but there is no parking here. Just a loop.

Pedestrian Passageway

On the west side of the berm, there is a restaurant called the Hubbard Park Lodge. Since there is no parking west of the berm, you park on the east side and walk through this tunnel. The tube is corrugated steel but the portals are art deco in design.
