Tunnel, 38-ft wide and 38-in. high is driven through crystalline limestone rock formation; since yardage involved did not warrant large outlay for drill jumbo, it was decided to drive tunnel in three lifts; top lift was drilled with jointed rods; second with combination of 24 ft horizontal holes on 4-ft centers and 12-ft vertical holes; bottom lift was drilled on 4×3 ft spacing.
