← Return to the Neighbourhood Updates page
Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are assembled and lowered into the ground at the launch shaft. Launch shaft construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2021 and the TBMs are expected to launch in spring 2022. Initially, one machine will begin and the other will follow soon after. The launch site remains active as muck is removed and the precast segment tunnel linings are stored.
