Workers on Sydney’s M4-M5 Link Tunnels gathered to celebrate the feast day of Saint Barbara, patron of tunnellers and engineers on Wednesday 4 December. Peter Haendl, M4-M5 Link Tunnels project manager at St Peters spoke of the importance of the observance for the workers.
A statue of St Barbara is placed at the entrance to every tunnelling site around the world, including at Cross River Rail’s Boggo Road, Woolloongabba, Albert Street and Roma Street sites, to protect those working there. Access the Link Tunnel Saint Barbara Blessing here.
