NOVA: London Super Tunnel

Wednesday, February 1, at 9pm on KQED 9

Underneath the streets of London, more than ten thousand construction workers race to build a brand new metro line called Crossrail. As they burrow the 26 miles of tunnels, engineers must make sure historic buildings don’t crack and London Underground trains keep running without passengers on the tube platforms below knowing they’re there.
