City of Toronto spends $9 million to rescue driller stuck underground in West End – CBC.caThe City of Toronto has launched a delicate West End rescue operation that will cost taxpayers $9 million to free a drilling machine trapped underground after nearby sewer work went awry last year. Dozens of workers have been on Old Mill Drive for months excavating the $3 million microtunnel machine that became stuck near Bloor Street West sometime last spring. The plan was to place the machine 60 feet underground and travel 900 feet to a pre-built exit shaft on Bloor Street West. Now trucks drive in and out of the area every day to dry the underground soil directly around the machine.
