After powering her way through the harbor, Mary The Tunnel Boring Machine's cutterhead has taken center stage, fully emerged from the newly bored tunnel and into the receiving pit at North Island. This heavy lift was a job too big for a crane. Instead, our innovative engineering teams and dedicated crews used nitrogen tables to raise, slide, and turn the massive tool 180 degrees into launch position.
Now facing Norfolk in anticipation of boring the expansion's second tunnel, Mary's shield waits to be reunited with her trailing gantries which remain, for now, in the tube.
Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. Our hearts are with the families who lost loved ones and with the first responders who showed extraordinary bravery. This tragic day has had a lasting impact on many of us but the way we recovered and rebuilt serves as a reminder of our shared strength and resilience.
