Latest update (8 October) from the Environment Agency: (Regarding ongoing work on the flood relief tunnel)
“Apologies for not sending an update last week. As of close of play on Friday, the mining team had completed 162m of the tunnel, leaving a further 65m of tunnelling remaining. Thus far, the ground conditions encountered have been as expected, with the mining team progressing at the programmed rate. As such, we are still in line with the timeline previously provided.”
