Ohio Board of Public Works, Cincinnati Central Parkway Photograph Collection
Description: Photograph of men at work on subway construction north of Mohawk Place in the bed of the old Miami Erie Canal, Cincinnati, Ohio, ca. 1920-1928. Construction of the subway began during the building of the Cincinnati Central Parkway over the canal bed in the early 1920s. The project was partly financed by the Ohio Department of Public Works. The canal bed was deepened to form the subway tube, but the rapid-transit system was never completed. View on Ohio Memory.
