The second, longer section runs from Des Plaines Street west to Campbell Avenue The third and shortest section is a three-block stretch from Kilpatrick Avenue to Lavergne Avenue where it ends at the Hubbard Playlot Park.

context_section_description: Where Hubbard Street crosses over the Kennedy Expressway, there is a long underpass popularly known as Hubbard's Cave.  The underpass is about a quarter of a mile in length, and actually extends from Hubbard Street to Wayman Street.  This tunnel-like section of the expressway was very dark to drive through until lights were added in 1962.
