‘Huge timbers one foot square were set across the beams, forming a temporary street (the “cover”) for traffic, while work continued below. In places where the subway ran beneath buildings the foundations of those buildings were deepened and reinforced while workers tunnelled from one cut to another. Once the concrete walls, floor and roof of the subway had been poured, the piles were cut off, the remaining space was filled with earth and Yonge Street was repaved.’
