BART in Market St. and Oakland was kind of the ultimate cut & cover due to the depth and horrid conditions.
I think I saw that line about cut & cover being easier on the neighbors in the TRAINS article on the Virginia St. tunnel job in DC. Just doesn't ring true, especially after seeing a photo in the story of the actual work. Though it probably IS better than having a boring machine run too shallow with the street collapsing over it (as with MTA on part of the Red Line. Will be interesting to see how Elon does it for his private tunnel to LAX. Hyperloop and a bicycle track in the tunnel?
