From Greyhope Road, a tunnel was driven under St Fitticks Road through the foreshore of Nigg Bay. This picture shows the section north of the tunnel from a 90 foot shaft midway along, at Balnagask. The going here was relatively easy. These men dug the tunnel out of the clay in 12 foot sections. The steel ribs you can see on the lower brick section support, a lagging and the concrete arch on four more steel ribs. Each 12 foot section was lined and finished in five days.
