Stone Avenue Underpass, Railway bridge in downtown Tucson, United States.
The Stone Avenue Underpass features two lanes passing beneath railroad tracks, connecting 6th Street with Toole Avenue through downtown Tucson.
The concrete underpass was constructed in 1936 and received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in September 1988.
Local residents named the underpass Lake Elmira following a 1937 story about a young girl swimming in the flooded passage during summer rains.
The underpass experiences regular flooding during heavy rainfall due to limited drainage capacity, requiring drivers to seek alternative routes.
Two history enthusiasts placed an unauthorized zinc plaque on the underpass pillar in the 1980s to commemorate the Lake Elmira legend.
