AOC Is Taking Steps to Address Issues in the Tunnels

AOC recently established a dedicated management team, including a project executive and two project managers, to oversee the tunnel improvement work, and projects to address the problems in the tunnels are in various stages of planning, design, and construction.

Since last November, AOC has made some progress in addressing the problems with high heat, delaminating concrete, insufficient egress, incomplete communication in the tunnels, and potential asbestos exposure. While these steps are positive, it will take focused and sustained management attention, additional funding, and several years to resolve the problems.
