Pedway
The Pedway system connects Prudential Plaza to the Grant Park garage, the Fairmont Hotel, the Athletic Club at Illinois Center and the AON Center. It also leads to the CTA Howard-Dan Ryan subway line and Congress-O’Hare subway line.
This underground walkway networks Prudential Plaza with buildings throughout the Loop, including Macy’s and other retailers, Daley Center, City Hall, State of Illinois Center and the First National Bank buildings.
