uReport the news DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com Tunnelling for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT line is complete and now Metrolinx is bidding
adieu to the heavy machinery that dug those tunnels. During the week of March 13, Metrolinx is extracting the tunnel boring machine (TBM) affectionately called Don, which along
with TBM Humber dug the eastern portion of the side-by-side underground tunnels from Laird Drive to Yonge Street. Tunnelling the eastern portion had actually ended at the end
of summer in 2016. The western leg of tunnel boring, from Mount Dennis to Yonge had been completed in January 2015.
