    I wrote 46 days ago Anna & Maria Tunnel boring machines for the second metro of Bródno are lowered.

    TBM Maria will bore the tunnel from Kondratowicza station to Bródno station. Maria will start after the May weekend.

    TBM Anna is problem. Contractor Gulermak spokesman Bartosz Sawicki talks to journalists and informs 40 employees including TBM shield manager can not move out of Dubai. This is because of coronavirus. If they can come to Poland, they have to wait for 14 more days for quarantine.

    Spokesman says because of Covid-19 precautions efficiency is at 30% of normal. Limited number of people can work and no or limited ventilation it is 40 degrees down there.

    In the worst case, Maria will finish work and same personnel will run TBM Anna. Plan was September 2021 but now everybody knows it is 2022.
