SEATTLE — Seattle’s tunnel machine Bertha is back in action after a short day for crew rest and maintenance.
The Seattle Times reports that the boring machine has passed the 2,000-foot mark on its 9,270-foot trek from the stadium area to South Lake Union. Seattle Tunnel Partners officials say they hope Bertha finishes by December.
