On the 38 opening so soon, the contractor i was with said the game changer was fhem having 2 big rock crushers on site. They didnt have to haul dirt up the mtn. A lot of the collapse material was crushed and reused.

He also said they used local material. Imported material has to be sanitized at $300 a ton.
