What's the latest on Old Colorado City tunnels?

QUESTION: In reading about Old Colorado City’s pioneer history, I learned there were once tunnels running from the more legitimate businesses on one side of Colorado Avenue to the less reputable saloons and bordellos on the other side of the avenue.
The tunnels enabled patrons to secretly be able to pursue their vices.
Do these tunnels still exist? If not, what happened to them and when?
