Dredger arrives on the Tyne

摘要

The cutter suction dredger, Vesalius arrived on the River Tyne in early November ready to begin dredging a channel for the second vehicle tunnel under the river. The start of dredging marks a crucial milestone for the New Tyne Crossing project. Four 90m long reinforced concrete tunnel elements have already been constructed at Walker Dry Dock ready for immersion into the dredged trench early next year.
