Broadway subway hits key milestone as tunnel crew breaks through to 1st station site
Tunneling work to connect the final four stations along the 5.7-kilometre line, ending at Arbutus Street, is expected to take at least a year.
Construction crews are operating two 150-metre long tunnel boring machines, each boring a six-metre-wide shaft. The first machine, dubbed “Elsie” in recognition of B.C.-born aircraft designer Elizabeth MacGill, will now undergo maintenance, then be pushed through the station construction site to begin boring westward toward Broadway-City Hall station.Broadway Subway Project reaches critical phase of construction with start of tunnel excavation
The second boring machine, named Phyllis after well-known B.C. naturalist and mountain climber Phyllis Munday, is expected to arrive at the Mount Pleasant site in the spring.
