During the heavy rains that have recently fallen, the River Wye has flooded but even so there is still around 200mm between the top of the weir
and the water thus indicating that very heavy rainfall will be needed to cause the tunnel to come into use.

20th August 2008
As reported in the Ross-on-Wye Journal on Wednesday 20th August 2008 the scheme is nearing completion. The 12 meters (40 foot) deep falling shaft in the Kings Acre car park will be linked to the rising shaft in the Homs Road car park as the tunnelling machine will complete its journey.
The principle of operation is that the falling shaft is a 6 meter (20 foot) diameter vertical tunnel inside a larger shallow tunnel with a lip (or a weir) between the two. When the water reaches the top of the weir, due to the streams flooding, then the water will then pass down the new tunnel down to the Homs Road end where it will exit the tunnel using a similar principle.
Once the tunnelling machine reaches the falling shaft it will be lifted out and the top of the shaft capped off so that the car park can be reinstated.
It was also reported that this would stop the 100 year flood issue that has caused problems in the town in the past but it would not solve the Brookend Street flooding issues as these are due to problems with the drainage at the bottom end of the town. This is the responsibility of Welsh Water and they have indicated that this will be resolved sometime within the next decade.

Up the stream from where the sluice used to stand at Fiveways, the bed of the Rudhall Brook is paved. Presumably this was done to help control the brook as it ran
past the sluice and on into the mill.

9th July 2008
According to the Ross Gazette this week (No 6718 Wednesday July 9th 2008) the above ground work is well underway and the bund, which is the final part, will be completed
in August 2008. The work on the 350m long 2.1m diameter tunnel will continue with final completion at around the end of the year.
The tunnelling machine delays were initially due to the need to change the teeth due to the material that was being bored through. The 50m long machine then needed
changes to the way that the waste material was removed. Conveyors were fitted to enable this.
The tunnelling machine has so far covered 130m leaving another 220m until it reaches its final destination in the Kings Acre car park.

In order to create the weir, the top of the falling shaft has to be removed and the low wall which forms the weir shuttered and cast where the top of the shaft once stood.
The blocks were lifted off in sections using a crane.
The final blocks around where the bottom of the weir chamber sits need to be removed using a little more force where they have become fused to the concrete.
