Sound Transit's project, an extension of the Central Link tunnel north to the UW, is ahead of schedule and under budget. Most of us in the city are happy to give them more money since they succeed at their job.

The light rail extension is a much more cost effective, useful, and popular project than this debacle of a tunnel.

It's also 12 stories deep in the ground.[1] I was also looking for the other dimensions for the tunnel. It's just crazy to think about digging holes like that. Just like the Channel Tunnel along the English Channel. Insanity is just the name of the game when it comes to Tunneling.
