As the Pape tunnels are ~3.3 km long (with 2 station boxes to traverse) and the downtown tunnels ~6.0km long (with 6 station boxes to traverse), it's possible to delay the start of Pape but have them complete at about the same time. Unless one of the projects hits an unforeseen major problem, of course.When laying blame here it is important to consider the “Pape Tunnel and Underground Stations” contract was awarded nearly 16 months later than the “Southern Civil, Stations and Tunnel” contract. I couldn’t say why but it seems an obvious oversight.
