On 20.10.2014 TBM Ellie finished her journey at Victoria Dock Portal in east London, completing the 900 m drive from Limmo Peninsula, near Canning Town, to Victoria Dock Portal in just six weeks, at an advance rate of 46 m/day. The TBM successfully navigated the Docklands Light Railway, Jubilee line and utilities, all in close proximity to the River Thames and River Lea. The breakthrough completes a set of Crossrail tunnels in east and southeast London that stretch from Plumstead to Whitechapel, with an additional spur between Stepney Green and Stratford.Crossrail running tunnels in Docklands and southeast London are now structurally complete. Overall, 87 percent of the project tunnels are complete, with only the Whitechapel-Farringdon section to close.TBM Ellie had earlier completed a 2.7 km stretch from Pudding Mill Lane to Stepney Green. She will now be dismantled and returned to manufacturer Herrenknecht, with the parts recycled for future projects. Click here for the video and uk/40 for tunnelbuilder archive.
