I wish I had thought of this, but as you pointed out, I put all my creative energy into writing about tunnels that actually exist!

A very strange coincidence.

frig, is it really April1? Damn you, Fagstein, for posting things before I get my morning coffee. Of course, from now on I'll never believe anything I read on the web...

Wasn't there a post on Spacing Montreal about this, though? Something related maybe?

Bob,
I hope you understand that that was an April Fool's Day joke.

What do you they call that? Un poisson d'avril?

Are you sure this tunnel is not part of the WUSS (the World Units in Sub Surface).

Watch out if it is... people have died because of such discovery, like Emir Kusturica that, after the screening of his movie "underground", disappeared for several week and was later found screaming down the streets of a small village in south america, with infected stitches all around his head, as if part of his brain has been removed.

This is a neat find. Considering the talk of the metro extension to Trudeau airport that was going on a while back, this might be worth while. I know the other plan was calling for a coalition of businesses and government to build it, but we know what a dog's breakfast that would turn into.

I wonder what the cost of building a fresh tunnel to Dorval would be compared to retrofitting this one?

From what I know, it only keeps going for about 1km West, but the extention and sewer thing seems to be more like a bad joke to me. I'd like it to be real, though!
