LONDON SUPER TUNNEL — NEW!
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 8 PM

Underneath the streets of London, a team of more than 10,000 construction workers race to build a brand new metro line – Crossrail. Costing almost $23 billion, it’s the biggest engineering project in Europe and must link to the existing metro system. As they burrow the 26 miles of tunnels, engineers battle to ensure historic buildings don’t crack, London Underground trains keep running, and an ambitious station roof of 2,500 pieces comes together on time. Join NOVA to plunge into the tunnels of the London Underground, follow this high stakes, action-packed engineering endeavor and discover how engineers are performing this delicate surgery through the heart of the historic city.
