There used to be a 2nd-floor skybridge connecting Chase Tower (One First National) to 70 W Madison (Three First National) and the rest of the pedway system, but this was demolished long ago.
There was also a pedestrian tunnel under Clark St connecting Chase Tower (One First National) to 20 S Clark (Two First National). It looks like that tunnel is still there and it is now being repaired, a big part of Clark St is ripped up right now for the "Chase Tunnel Project".
20 S Clark probably wants that all-weather connection to the Blue Line! It's also possible that this is an investment by Chase, maybe they have given up their search for a new trophy tower and will re-invest in their current HQ tower with expansion in 20 S Clark.
