Crossrail move saves Barbican
Article Abstract:
Crossrail has made a dramatic reversal over proposals for a major tunnel under the Barbican in a bid to save the 1960s tower from falling off. The agreement made to the proposal is that the main track-crossover tunnel is to be constructed with a horizontal piped arch technique and would be shifted towards Liverpool Street station and as a result would lie below the Barbican's lakes and parkland rather than beneath the heavy residential units.
