Deep beneath Alexandria, Va., a massive drill is digging a tunnel that will keep millions of gallons of raw sewage from seeping into the Potomac River.
This part of the tunnel is already dug. Drops of water and brown gunk fall from the ceiling, and a thick liquid sits on the bottom of the curved floor.“It’s quite the environment to be in for 10 hours,” said Payne, the engineer. “Down here, the time can go by really fast.”Coffee machine. Microwave. All the touches of home.
“It’s tight in here, huh? I didn’t realize the diameter of the tunnel when I signed up for this job,” joked Jesus Moreno, the project’s tunnel inspector. “Another two feet would have been a little more comfortable.”
