Winter Street Concourse

The Winter Street Concourse is a pedestrian tunnel in Boston, Massachusetts connecting the Park Street and Downtown Crossing subway stations of the MBTA. It can be used to pass freely between these two major transfer stations without boarding a Red Line train, and is therefore a means of transfer between the Green and Orange lines (this type of connection is also possible at Haymarket and North Station).

The tunnel was constructed in 1915 but not opened to the public until 1978; before then it was used for storage and offices.
