Initially, the line entered fully enclosed brick tunnels between 67th and 71st Streets, and between 80th and 96th Streets. The remainder of this segment was located in a "beam tunnel" structure, which were mostly open-air, except where cross-streets traversed the cut on steel-beam bridges. At 97th Street, the line rises onto a viaduct and continues above the median of Park Avenue until it reaches 132nd Street. There, the line crosses the Park Avenue Bridge, a vertical lift bridge, and traverses the

Goose Island is crossed by Division Street, running east–west, and Halsted Street, which runs north–south across the southeast portion of the island. In 1866 Halsted Street was connected to the island with the construction of a bridge across the river; a bridge across the canal at Halsted Street was added in 1874.
