Crossrail TBM moved to Limmo

Two months after completing her 2.7 km tunnel drive from Pudding Mill Lane to one of Europe’s largest mined caverns at Stepney Green, the TBM Jessica made a 5 km journey to her next launch point at the project’s eastern tunnel’s Limmo Peninsula site at Canning Town. On 06.04.2014, Jessica’s 7.1 m-diameter cutterhead and 65 t shield were carried through the Limehouse Link tunnel to Limmo Peninsula to be re-assembled for the final Crossrail tunnels between Limmo and Victoria Dock Portal.
