Tunnel vision

摘要

The proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline, spanning 1,172 kilometres between Alberta and the West Coast, would require two major tunnels through the Coast Mountains. Project sponsor Enbidge Inc. says the tunnels would be located about 50 kilometres northeast of Kitimat, B.C., between the Clore River valley on the east side of North Hope Peak and the Hoult Creek valley on the west side of Mount Nimbus. The Clore tunnel would be approximately 6.5 metres long, while the Hoult tunnel would be about 6.6 kilometres.
