Last gantry at the bottom of the shaft where crews connect it
Now Fully Assembled, It’s Full Speed Ahead for the tunnel boring machine Mary and the Potomac River Tunnel

Final Gantry Completes Mobile Support Train Behind Mary Stretching More Than 700 Feet

DC Water’s tunnel boring machine Mary may be the muscle behind the Potomac River Tunnel Project, but the gantries that trail behind her form the heart, brains, and guts of the operation. Now crews have lowered and connected the final gantry section, giving Mary the tools and equipment she needs to continue tunneling north.
