The Devil’s Slide Tunnels that bypass a landslide prone stretch of California coast will not open until late 2012, a full year later than anticipated according to Caltrans. The tunnels broke through back in October, but they are apparently having problems with soil movement and need additional reinforcement. The cost of the delay is not known at this time, but it should drive the $350M project budget substantially higher. [Source: San Mateo Daily Journal. Image: Caltrans via smdailyjournal.com]
