Following scheduled maintenance, #TunnelBoringMachine Elsie launched from South Granville Station yesterday afternoon.
Watch her arrival at South Granville here. She now joins already-departed TBM Phyllis en route to Cypress Street.
Welcome to South Granville, #TunnelBoringMachine Elsie!
Here’s an action shot of Elsie breaking through the east wall of the future station yesterday around 2:30pm.
Following scheduled maintenance, she’ll join already-departed TBM Phyllis as they make their way to Cypress St.
Welcome to South Granville, TBM Phyllis 🎉 🎉 🎉
Phyllis broke through the east wall of the future station yesterday just before 7:30 pm.
Following maintenance, she will embark on the last leg of her journey to the future Arbutus Station!
Here's how tunnel liner rings are built as the #BroadwaySubwayProject tunnel is excavated!
A vehicle delivers tunnel segments to the tunnel boring machine. The TBM then lifts & moves the segments to the “segment erector,” which installs each segment to form a ring.
Good news in Canada! 🇨🇦
We have celebrated, together with our partner @GhellaSpa, a second successful TBM breakthrough at the future Broadway-City Hall Station! 🚇

The @broadwaysubway_'s future Great Northern Way-Emily Carr Station is now connected to the existing VCC-Clark Station's infrastructure by 700m of new elevated guideway! Well done to the #ACCIONAteam & our partner @GhellaSpa!
#TunnelBoringMachine Phyllis has reached Broadway-City Hall Station!
Phyllis broke through the east wall of the station box at 10:30 am today. She has been traveling beneath the city streets since departing Mount Pleasant on April 18th!
It’s time to check in with Renny and Rexy - where are they this week?
Renny is at the 3.92 km mark, while Rexy has reached 3.28 km.

In April 2022, the 1st shipment of #TunnelBoringMachine parts arrived.
Last October, TBM Elsie launched on her journey, with TBM Phyllis following in November.
Now, Elsie is approaching Broadway-City Hall Station & Phyllis will depart from Mount Pleasant Station very soon!
Today’s #photooftheday takes a look at the launch shaft.
It’s 80 metres long, 20 metres wide and 17 metres deep - and at about 27,200 cubic metres, it’s roughly the same volume as 11 Olympic-size swimming pools.🏊
Just before 2am on Saturday, #TunnelBoringMachine Phyllis had her 1st breakthrough @ the future Mount Pleasant Station! 🎉
Now Phyllis, just like Elsie before her, will receive maintenance & move through the pre-excavated station before continuing to Broadway-City Hall Station.
In October 2022, #TunnelBoringMachine Elsie was launched. TBM Phyllis followed shortly after in November.
Both machines will travel 5km down Broadway, breaking through at 5 #BroadwaySubwayProject stations along the way!
How is a #TBM assembled? What about 2️⃣ of them?
Watch our crews construct Elsie and Phyllis, who are now carving out the #BroadwaySubwayProject's twin 5km tunnels! 🚇
