Digital scan of a sepia-toned photo of the bracing above the excavation for the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel through Randolph Street, as taken facing north near Franklin Street. A pipe runs across the trench, and a worker stands beside it. A Mark R. Hanna Company crane is to the east of the trench. A group of figures are gathered along the barricades on the edge of the site. A hopper is on Randolph at Woodbridge Street. The Water Board Building is visible in the distance along Randolph Street. "Detroit and Canada Tunnel Contract - Section 5; Looking North from Shaft of Section 4; Jul 8, 1929, 8B-97," was handwritten on the verso.
