Good news! An Airport Trail Tunnel update (July 2013)

On time and on budget!

Those are words I like to hear, and we heard them yesterday from the folks working on the Airport Trail Tunnel project.

Yesterday was a pretty significant milestone for this project: The City turned over the last section above the Airport Tunnel to the Calgary Airport Authority. Essentially, the physical structure of the tunnel is built and next steps involve installing the mechanical and electrical components of the tunnel and paving the road through the tunnel. The tunnel is expected to open in May 2014.
