Crossrail eyes legacy

摘要

Of all the major projects currently under way, Crossrail will leave one of the biggest legacies for the general public. It will be used by hundreds of thousands of people every day, easing congestion for many and speeding up commute times around the capital. But what about its legacy for the construction industry? This is always an interesting question for projects of the size and scale of Crossrail; inevitably, a great deal of innovation will go into its design and construction, purely to overcome the sheer challenge of delivering a mega-project such as this.
