Bluff Tunnel
Built in 1929, The Bluff Tunnel closed in 1977 after becoming a haven for vagrants and illicit activity. Despite a 1992 plan by the Heart of Corpus Christi to reopen it, a 1996 visioning plan that listed its restoration as a priority and former Mayor Henry Garrett's interest in reopening the area in 2000 when he was a councilman, the rusted gates remained shut.
