Subterranean Water Veins Delay Major Excavation Project
Excavation for the grade crossing elimination encounters several subterranean water veins, causing delays as mud floods the area. A small tunnelling unit under the Main Street temporary bridge is stuck in mud after striking a vein, while a drag-line digs east of Wrenn Street near Kivett Drive to remove waterlogged soil. Engineers aim to finish the tunnel under the Main Street bridge to reroute dirt traffic away from Broad Street.
