Effect of proposed MTC tunnel / Golder Associates.: En39-69/1974E-PDF
"The hydraulics laboratory of the Canada Centre for Inland Waters is located on filled land in Hamilton Harbour alongside the Burlington Skyway bridge. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation & Communications proposes to increase the capacity of the road which the bridge carries and one of the schemes proposed to do this involves the construction of a road tunnel under the entrance to Hamilton harbour. The tunnel would be a concrete box section floated into position and sunk into a previously dredged hole. The inclined approaches to the tunnel would have sloping earth sides and the top of one of them would come within 20 to 30 ft. of the end wall of the hydraulics laboratory. The question to be answered is "would such an excavation cause any damage to the laboratory?""--Introduction, page 1.
