The City of Toronto has issued an emergency contract to a construction company to retrieve a boring machine that’s been stuck underground in the west end for nine months after it became tangled in steel wires.
Since June of last year, the tunneling machine has been stuck underneath Old Mill Drive, near Bloor Street West, where its presence has caused a number of problems for surrounding infrastructure over the past few months. The sewer is meant to divert rainfall away from homes in the area and decrease the risk of basement and home flooding.
But less then a month later, the machine’s front cutting end became ensnared in steel ‘tiebacks’ – buried wires previously used to brace shoring from two mid-rise development excavations in the area.
