The Vancouver Underworld

There is a gaping void in Vancouver. No, we're not talking about our basketball team but rather the giant tunnel that is winding its way through the Vancouver Netherworld.
At a length of nearly 19 km, the Canada Line will be an automated rail-based rapid transit service connecting Vancouver with central Richmond and the Vancouver Airport -- linking growing residential, business, health care, educational and other centres in the region -- and adding transit capacity equivalent to 10 major road lanes. The Canada Line will connect with existing rapid transit lines at Waterfront Station and major east-west transit services, creating an enhanced transit network to serve the region.

mtippett, Good stuff. Did you take these pics with the camera on your cell phone?!? I love staring down into these big pits...it's very humbling.

It's kind of surreal. You can do a tour of the tunnel if you're so inclined. ...yes, all taken with my phone.

I was at the coffee shop nearby when they "Breaking through" ceremony ended a month or two ago. It was amazing to see the massive drilling machine punch through.
