LEAD — It’s rare that the public gets a glimpse at the work being done below the surface at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), but one vital component to the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility/Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (LBNF/DUNE) has become a familiar sight to citizens and visitors to Lead – the conveyor system running across U.S. Highway 85, leading to the Open Cut.
“It’s pretty neat to kind of feel the vibe of the community, especially those that were here when there was a conveyor downhill a little bit that crossed the highway,” said Joshua Willhite, design manager for the LBNF project. “Every bit of feedback I’ve heard so far has been positive about, ‘its nice to see that being brought back in, and see that progress.’”
