AIR : Construction Site : Construction Site June 2001

Another view of the entrance to the first tunnel, and most of the concrete has now been poured.
Enormous support footers are now all over the site. Expect these footers to be covered by theming by opening day next year.
Work on the first tunnel looks almost complete.
The iron work for another footer, waiting to be placed, and concreted into the ground.
Tunnel work must now be almost complete, with soil now being placed into the sides to fill in the gaps between walls and ground.

No further work seems to have taken place on the entrance to the lift hill tunnel section, although work is now going on in the station area.

In the loading station area, concrete is now appearing. Note how the middle section seems to be seperated away. Perhaps a different level of concrete in the middle of the station for machinery or perhaps theming.
30th June 2001
An overall view of the lift hill tunnel shows that soil has been used to fill in the edges of the concrete, and work can be seen going on in the loading station.

It appears that the lift hill tunnel now is just awaiting steel.
