miles of tunnels. Last year and this year the project supported the
equivalent of 13,800 full-time jobs throughout the supply chain.
Very interesting. Thank you for posting that. I'm astonished by the assertion
that this project is "supporting" the equivalent of 13,800 full time jobs. Can
that be correct?
