Video shows roadheader digging at the east portal

Came across this video uploaded by Councillor Mathieu Fleury of a roadheader digging away at the eastern LRT portal. The video appears to be shot in early November since the woman explaining the work of the roadheader is seen wearing a poppy. To see machines in action, skip ahead to about the 50-second mark.

For those not on Twitter, here's a photo of the tunnel provided by the City of Ottawa last week, reminding us how big this project really is:

Thanks for this!

There is now a separate web page just for progress on the tunnel and all three roadheader machines at http://www.ottawalightrail.ca/en/the-build/downtown-tunnel/roadheaders/

The western portal has been tunneled 170 meters and the eastern 12 meters as of the third week of January.
