If Norway’s Stad Ship Tunnel gets approved, it would be located on the Stadhavet Sea, an area known for heavy winds and hurricanes. Stormy weather makes it almost impossible for ships to travel in the area. Vessels often wait for hours or even days before it becomes safe enough to cross. A study has been performed by the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA), and their findings are scheduled to be released this May. If approved by the Norway Department of Transport, construction could begin as early as 2019. [Source: View more info at Business Insider via AGC SmartBrief.

Comments Off on Seattle Light-Rail Tunnel Likely to Break Ground This Year
Thanks to approximately $100 million from President Bush’s proposed 2009 budget, the $1.8 billion project creating a light-rail line from downtown Seattle to the University of Washington is likely to break ground some time this year. The project will involve twin bored tunnels on the order of 3 miles in length. It is scheduled to open for use in 2016.
There is another notable tunnel project associated with the Seattle Light Rail, known as the Beacon Hill tunnel which I have blogged about before.
