True, it does require a lot of pile driving.
Not happy about the loss of ALR though, that was a big reason for my preference of a bridge over a tunnel. Also the experience of riding a bike over a bridge is far more enjoyable than a tunnel IMO.
That said, if this is indeed the full replacement tunnel (no retention of the old structure) I am satisfied. Just hope it includes a rapid bus system as solid as the bridge concept (median lanes, full bus stations, direct dedicated ramps to Bridgeport Station).
