Dover cliff blast reshapes Abbot’s Cliff tunnel terminus

A controlled explosion near Dover reduced a 300 foot cliff section by up to 60 feet in places to form a flat platform for the Abbot’s Cliff tunnel project. About 9,600 pounds of powder across 15 chambers was used, with 45,000 yards of cliff removed and 99,000 tons of debris falling to sea. The blast, watched by scientists and engineers including Mr Cubitt and Mr Hodges, proceeded with precise timing and left only minor disturbances. Reports note the blast’s near earthquake-like shock and the successful, rapid completion of the operation.
