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.
