Bertha Taking a Break
After passing under the Alaskan Way Viaduct, Seattle’s tunneling machine and its crews took the weekend off, according to the Washington Department of Transportation. The machine has now traveled 1,995 feet — out of its total 9,270-foot journey under downtown Seattle.
Bertha was scheduled to tunnel 385 feet under the viaduct and reached that goal on May 11, but crews continued until they reached a safer place to stop.
The roadway opened to drivers again on May 8.
