Updated 12/7/07:
Construction of a parking garage at Eden Park Drive & Florence Ave. unknowingly struck the unused Deer Creek Tunnel
in late November 2007. A track hoe fell into the tunnel the evening of December 4. This is the first news regarding the tunnel
in over 35 years, when its southernmost portion was filled in to allow construction of I-71. This incident illustrates that the
entire southern portion of the tunnel was not filled in at that time contrary to contemporary reports.
