I think it is interesting, not sure why everyone is calling it boring.

That was a little less dramatic than the Kool-aid man coming through the wall.

It amazes me the machinery that exists today for different projects

Management might consider Doretta expendable, but not us! ROCK AND STONE!

Good to see this I was one of the few that welded on this cutter head

These are the real heroes of society. The ones doing hard thankless work that makes life liveable and convenient for the rest of us

I like how he threw “honest work” in there to let us know there’s no fishy business going on lol

This is Vault-Tec making the Vaults for us. Good luck everyone.

Classic... one guy doing all the work while everybody else stands around watching

As a Carolinian I'd like to congratulate Virginia on their achievement, and look forward to avoiding the speed traps on that highway

I just love these giant level projects

As soon as the second bore is done send Mary to Baltimore. They had a bridge that needs to be replaced with a tunnel.

God bless these workers and this project. Yeah, they're behind schedule but this is complex business. I only go over HRBT a couple times a month and I can clearly see progress each time.
