The Governor mentioned three men who "in their different ways contributed
so much to the project". They are Mr. D.A. Hislop, the Project Manager, Trans
Harbour Constructors Ltd.; Mr. G.M.J. Williams, a partner of Scott Wilson
Kirkpatrick and Partners; and Mr. R.J.F. Brothers, the Commercial Manager
of Wheelock Marden and Executive Officer of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel Company.
Sir Murray also paid tribute to the Public Works Department who he said
had "Laboured mightily to get their massive approach complexes ready in time",
Although the tunnel was officially opened this evening, general
traffic will not be allowed to use it until just before midnight tomorrow (August 3)
night.
