The Eastman tunnel, also called the Hennepin Island tunnel, was a 2,000-foot-long (610 m) underground passage in Saint Anthony, Minnesota, (now Minneapolis) dug beneath the Mississippi River riverbed between 1868 and 1869 to create a tailrace so water-powered business could be located upstream of Saint Anthony Falls on Nicollet Island. The tunnel ran downstream from Nicollet Island, beneath , and exited below Saint Anthony Falls. The Eastman tunnel is a contributing resource to the St. Anthony Falls Historic District. The District is on the National Register of Historic Places

has abstract	Der Hennepin-Island-Tunnel war ein 2500 Fuß (etwa 760 m) langer Tunnel in (heute Teil von Minneapolis), der zwischen 1868 und 1869 unter dem Flussbett des Mississippi Rivers gegraben wurde, um einen Abflusskanal zur Wasserkraftgewinnung für Säge- und Getreidemühlen zu schaffen, die oberhalb der Saint-Anthony-Fälle angesiedelt waren. Der Tunnel lief von flussabwärts unter hindurch und hatte seinen Ausgang unterhalb der Wasserfälle. Während des Tunnelbaus brach der Fluss am 5. Oktober 1869 durch die dünne Decke aus Kalkstein, die das Flussbett vom Tunnel trennte. Der Fluss durchspülte den Tunnel, höhlte Teile von Hennepin Island aus und verursachte den Zusammenbruch des unterstützenden Erdreiches auf der stromaufwärts gelegenen Seite der Wasserfälle. Es gab ernsthafte Befürchtungen, dass das Flussbett zerbröckeln und die Saint-Anthony-Fälle zu einer langen Reihe von Stromschnellen umgewandelt würden. Innerhalb weniger Wochen wurden Dämme gebaut, um den Fluss abzuhalten und damit das Wegspülen der Fälle zu stoppen. Die Maßnahme war allerdings nur temporär, weil die Frühjahrsfluten 1870 einige der neuen Staudämme beschädigten und noch größere Teile von Hennepin Island wegspülten. Bis zum Herbst 1870 wurden Flussbett und Ufer weiter stabilisiert und ein hölzernes Wehr oberhalb der Wasserfälle errichtet. Als direkte Folge des Einsturzes haben die Saint-Anthony-Fälle schließlich das Betonwehr erhalten, die einen künstlichen Wasserfall schufen, den einzigen größeren Wasserfall am Mississippi River. Der frühere Tunnel liegt etwa 1650 Meter stromaufwärts von der im Jahre 2007 eingestürzten Interstate-35W-Mississippi-River-Brücke. (de) The Eastman tunnel, also called the Hennepin Island tunnel, was a 2,000-foot-long (610 m) underground passage in Saint Anthony, Minnesota, (now Minneapolis) dug beneath the Mississippi River riverbed between 1868 and 1869 to create a tailrace so water-powered business could be located upstream of Saint Anthony Falls on Nicollet Island. The tunnel ran downstream from Nicollet Island, beneath , and exited below Saint Anthony Falls. During construction of the tunnel, on October 5, 1869, the river broke through the thin layer of limestone separating the river's bed from the tunnel. The rushing river scoured the tunnel, caving in parts of Hennepin Island and causing the earth supporting Saint Anthony Falls to collapse upstream. There was serious concern that the riverbed would crumble and reduce Saint Anthony Falls to a long set of rapids. Within a few weeks, dams were built to divert the river and stop Saint Anthony Falls from being washed away. The fix was temporary as the 1870 spring floods damaged some of the new dams and swept away more of Hennepin Island. The final fix for the tunnel disaster was a concrete dike constructed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps also built a protective sloping wood timber apron to create an artificial falls which remain the only major waterfall on the Mississippi River. The Eastman tunnel is a contributing resource to the St. Anthony Falls Historic District. The District is on the National Register of Historic Places The site of the tunnel is about a mile upstream from site of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge that collapsed in 2007. (en)
