Metro Vancouver is building a new water supply tunnel and this is how far along this one named Annacis is now.

The location is about 60 per cent of the way to the final completion of a 2.3-kilometre-long tunnel.

Engineers said the project was designed to withstand a massive earthquake such as one with a magnitude of 9.0 .

This is one of six major projects that is in the works to replace aging drinking water infrastructure.
