Construction update: Confederation Line western portal, Sept. 25

All photos were taken on Sept. 25, 2013.

First, two photos from above the tunnel opening looking westward up the slope:

The bottom two photos show how much depth, below the wood retaining walls, they have gained by blasting. Still a ways to go.
