Mill Creek Drainage Relief Tunnel

Post by The_Overdog »

Article about the tunnel being dug to stop flooding around Baylor.

"On April 24, 2020, the largest hard rock TBM ever to bore in the United States began to operate."

They should offer tours once it's complete and before it gets flooded.

Great link, thanks. Will this result in a pattern that lowers the local water table farther? Pre-urban Dallas County used to have seeps and springs all over.
