Tunnel machine Victoria, named after Queen Victoria who oversaw the birth of modern railways, has successfully broken in to the eastern end of Liverpool Street Crossrail station.
The breakthrough, 40m beneath the City of London, is part of Crossrail’s longest tunnel drive, 8.3km from Limmo Peninsula, near Canning Town, to Farringdon.
Victoria now has 750m of tunnel to bore, before arriving at her final destination at Farringdon station this spring.
Victoria has joined her sister machine Elizabeth at Liverpool Street who arrived in January. TBM Elizabeth, named after HM The Queen, will shortly begin her journey to Farringdon. Elizabeth’s arrival will link all Crossrail tunnels for the first time with the big east/west breakthrough at Farringdon in the spring.
On completion of Crossrail tunnelling, a total of 42km of rail tunnel will have been bored as part of Europe’s largest infrastructure project. Over 40km out of 42km have now been constructed.
