""A less formal entry to Highland Park is made from the intersection of The Hill Road and Lake Drive. From this point a stone stairway leads to the Negley Circle memorial grove; the path continues under Reservoir Drive through a cut stone tunnel. This Tunnel Walk was a favorite subject of postcards and appears in many reprints, the earliest of which indicates the structure was in place before 1886. The Tunnel Walk uses the same rough faced cut stone found on retaining walls in all of Pittsburgh's classic parks and throughout the city -- a signature mark of the long and productive career of E. M. Bigelow.""    (Attribution: http://pghbridges.com)
