THE ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT REPLACEMENT TUNNEL



The Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel, also known as the SR 99 Tunnel, is a bored highway tunnel in Seattle. The 2-mile double-decker tunnel carries a section of State Route 99 under downtown Seattle.

Construction began in July 2013 using “Bertha”, at the time the world’s largest-diameter tunnel boring machine. Tunnel boring was completed in April 2017, and the tunnel opened to traffic on February 4, 2019.
