Historic tunnel documentary wraps up

NDDU

‘Sydney’s Super Tunnel’ was filmed over five years and traced the engineering challenges faced on the largest transport project in Australia’s history.

The fourth and final episode of the independent series documents what happened when nubbles began appearing on the surface of Sydney Harbour – directly above tunnel boring machine Kathleen, which was stopped 50 m below.

Also, on the episode, an Australian-first bridge comes to life off the drawing board and the testing of driverless trains occurs in the countdown to the opening of Sydney Metro.

When completed in 2024, Sydney will have 31 metro stations and more than 66 km of new metro rail.

Visit the SBS website to watch full episodes.
