Cut-and-cover construction of the Paris Métro in France. Cut-and-cover is a simple method of construction for shallow tunnels where a trench is excavated and roofed over with an overhead support system strong enough to carry the load of what is to be built above the tunnel. Two basic forms of cut-and-cover tunnelling are available:
Tunnel exit on the Sagrera side, where the Barcelona-Sagrera station, currently under construction, is located. The Sants-Sagrera high-speed tunnel runs from Barcelona-Sants station to the future Barcelona-Sagrera station along Provença Street, Avinguda Diagonal, and Mallorca Street, [47] covering a length of 5.78 km.
A 1974 state plan again proposed an extension to Park Street, while the 1978 and 1983 Program for Mass Transportation updates called for an extension to Charles/MGH instead. [15] A 1986 MBTA feasibility study for an extension to Charles/MGH evaluated a cut-and-cover tunnel beginning west of Bowdoin Street with no changes to Bowdoin station.
Cut-and-cover construction at Saint-Michel on Paris Métro Line 4 (c. 1910) Cut-and-cover is a simple method of construction for shallow tunnels where a trench is excavated and roofed over with an overhead support system strong enough to carry the load of what is to be built above the tunnel. [29] There are two basic forms of cut-and-cover ...
The northern half of the former L Line (Union Station to Azusa) became part of the A Line via the new tunnel. Retained Blue Color. E Line (Expo) The previously existing part of the E Line will continue service under its name. The Eastside half of the former L Line (Pico/Aliso to Atlantic) became part of the E Line via the new tunnel. Changed to ...
Modern deep level construction is usually done by using tunnel boring machines. In London, the Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines are services that run on the sub-surface network that has railway tunnels just below the surface and built mostly using the "cut-and-cover" method. The tunnels and trains are of a similar ...

In 1995 it was proposed to build a tunnel for the A303 underneath the World Heritage Site. A conference agreed on a 2.5-mile (4 km) bored tunnel; however, the government instead proposed a cut and cover tunnel, with plans being published in 1999.
