A look deep inside the MDC Tunnel Project in Hartford, CT

Two hundred feet beneath the streets of the south end of Hartford, a mega tunnel project is well underway.
The South Hartford Conveyance and Storage Tunnel is being built to help areas like the South End of Hartford and Wethersfield deal with flooding issues. The tunnel which is already one mile long, and will ultimately be around four miles long will extend from Hartford into West Hartford.
The project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2023. “You haven’t seen anything like this really in Connecticut,” said Susan Negrelli, the MDC’s director of engineering.
The project which is a venture between the MDC (Metropolitian District) and the Kenny Construction, as well as the Obayashi Corporation, has around 100 workers busy with the nearly 275 million dollar project around the clock, six days a week.

They’ve been doing this in cities worldwide for over 30 years, we are just now getting this technology. We are very behind.

Getting fluoride out of the water in CT would be nice.
