Tunnel boring equipment loading on The Esplanade.

July 23, 2012 The Esplanade Road has been closed between Scott Street and Yonge Street since July 16 to permit the safe construction of and underground tunnel between the L Tower’s parking, located beneath the site of the Backstage condo, and the L Tower itself. Prepatory work to dig out the opening for the tunnel boring machine was conducted last week. Today, equipment to support the tunnel boring machine is being brought into place.
