From NBC News: 2014 Jan 4 - The Washington State Department of Transportation said Friday that the steel pipe that stopped Bertha, as the borer is nicknamed, on Dec. 6 is a 119-foot-long well casing installed in 2002 to study groundwater movement under downtown Seattle.

Idiots. Tunnels are never needed. They claim to save money meanwhile dozens of gravel yards have excess materiel for sale that could build alternative routes. They approve building permits that are unwise and proven to cause traffic jams, apartments and small residential lots (sardine can theory) usually the culprit. The media could care less, never studying or talking about it on their own.

Modern TBM-created tunnels are lined with small, curved panels of high-density concrete. This is done to make the tunnel more flexible. In the event of an earthquake, only some of these panels will crack or fall out instead of a huge solid cylinder cracking all over the place.

How is a tunnel any safer than a raised highway? If there's an earthquake, it could collapse, or if there's water around it, it could flood. Doesn't seem like driving miles underground would be the safest way to travel.
