There doesn't seem to be much distance between the 2 bores. Surely
they won't
be that close the entire route? Looks like it would collapse.


The tunnel is concrete-lined as the machine moves forward.

I'm more interested in them apparently using GPS 38m underground!


Did they ever choose names for them?
