Century-old tunnel repair milestone for legislative building future

<p>MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Workers are digging up dirt at the Manitoba Legislative Building — literally. On the surface, for months, the east side of the lawn facing Broadway has been fenced off with heavy equipment working away doing who-knows-what. Below the surface, a massive effort is underway to upgrade some of Manitoba’s oldest subterranean infrastructure. The project underway on the grounds of the legislature consists of repairing the more than 100-year-old underground tunnel to extend its current life for another 100 years. The service tunnel that’s just over two metres high by 2.5 metres wide provides utilities like steam heat, power and IT connections to the Legislative Building.
