The Seattle Tunnel Partners JV announced last month that tunneling on the Alaska Way Viaduct Replacement project will resume a month later than originally planned. The Bertha TBM will resume mining on December 23 after a unique repair operation involving an access shaft. The tunnel boring machine is currently undergoing testing, and a jet grouting operation to tighten up the ground in advance of the TBM was undertaken last month.
