In case anyone missed it elsewhere, Bertha will reach 'native' soil depths (below the fill) along the middle zones of the tunnel route.

excellent boring explanation.

this is so cool

This is cool.

Amazing engineering. Hope nothing goes wrong.

It would be a good idea of making a train that goes in a circle to transport soil and other stuff constantly, but much smaller.

finally done!

What the video doesn't show is how the machine breaks down 1/7 of the way in, stalling the project for 2+ years and running billions over budget. They're rerouting the traffic this weekend around the exit portal on the other end, because it's ready and the tunnel is a long way off. Still it has to be completed, you have to finish what you started, or it's all a waste.

Welcome to life dumbass. Things don't always turn out 100% the way you planned. Happens even on big projects such as this.

This tunnel was appropriately named.

12th lol :) this is cool and yay a video from washington is in the popular section of youtube!

Neat.

Atleast I will know what's under my feet when I go downtown. Yes, I live in Seattle.

Same Narrator that did the "Watch Dogs" video game Teaser Trailer

すごいなぁ はやく開通するといいですね

You think this is impossible? They have made a fully operational roadway that goes from France, the english channel, and to the Uk

Given the size and location - I imagine a breakdown will be a major pain.

Avery Milieu you imagined right

they got a boring announcer for the boring machine

Great design but any maintenance would be like impossible

Hey! Gregoire promised that the tunnel would open in December, 2015. How's the ride, Chris?

Robbie Burns said ... well everyone knows what Robbie Burns said.

my mind is using a beavis voice to narrate much of this.

Tunnel Excitement Machine Animation. Wait, that is for a different equipment..

Komatsu, catepillar,(CAT), hitatchi, and elon musk ... dig it ✨✨✨💨

does anyone know what program was used for this animation? I am very curious

RIP Phil Schneider

I don't think I could even attempt to sound as boring as this narrator, I'm almost impressed!

Are we going to be living underground in the not so distant future? Or........

Four lanes? Only four lanes? Maybe they can somehow turn the machine around once they're done and add another four.

They got the 'boring' part right

That sure is one "boring machine". ;-p JK, I love geeky vids like this. :-3

Yeahhhhhh...you missed your schedule by a smidge.

Sure hope they engineered the wall panels correct. Looks like too much potential stress at the seams.

"Scheduled to open to traffic in 2015".. 4 years later.. oops

Chuck Norris can swim through land .

When this going be finish?

+Thomas Dickensheets The contractor schedule currently states that the tunnel will be completed in Spring 2018.

Still way less than the cost of Boston's Big Dig.

Welcome to the future.

Akaka is far from Washington tho

This narrator sounds exactly like Alex Dainis, only a bit more mature, and much less enthusiastic than Alex does in her own Bit Sci-zed videos, which you should definitely watch. Odd.

Tunnel boring? More like tunnel BORING! Wait...

As cool as it sounds, I have my doubts about the structural integrity of the tunnel.

Alaskan pipeline

do ya know the another definition to "boring" of "boring machine" ? search for...

And when this project is finished, it will only cost drivers $9 in tolls per trip for the pleasure of using this death trap tunnel, opposed to the free use of the current open air viaduct.

sorrowly, these kind of machines, are used to build underground facilities for miltary and black ops. know what i mean?

I have no idea as to what accent the narrater sports but is certainly not British

7th comment!?!?!?

Dune....

Too bad it's for cars. I want to ride a bike under Seattle.

I'm bored

Its in the title, the video truly is boring.

Boring? Far from it!

That was boring.

April fools suckers! This thing does not exist
