Big Becky to surface this spring

From the Niagara Falls Review:

After four years of underground burrowing, Big Becky is about to surface near Niagara Falls.

Big Becky is the nicknmame of the tunnel-boring machine digging a 10-km tunnel under the city of Niagara Falls that will bring more water to the Sir Adam Beck hydroelectric generators.

“If all goes well, we’ll be breaking through the other side in April,” said Tom Mitchell, president of Ontario Power Generation, the provincially owned company responsible for producing electricity.
