A SAK Construction worker has been killed during an accident at a MSD tunnel site on Carr Lane Court in Shrewsbury. The worker was struck by a crane. Police and fire crews arrived on the scene at around 3:00am.
Workers at the Deer Creek site are tunneling under St. Louis for a wastewater project. It’s designed to hold 12.5 million gallons of wastewater produced when there’s a significant rain event that overwhelms the sewer system. The tunnel now runs about 1.5 miles at 150-250 feet underground from Shrewsbury to Clayton. The tunnel will eventually be around four miles long. Construction of the tunnel is expected to be completed in late 2022.
