Another milestone for Light Rail!
Sound Transit punches second tunnel under Seattle's Beacon Hill
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE -- A boring machine has punched another tunnel through Seattle's Beacon Hill for the Sound Transit light rail line between the city and Sea-Tac Airport.
Construction workers and transit employees cheered Wednesday as the 600-ton machine broke through Wednesday and operators crawled across the 21-foot diameter drill bit to shake hands with Mayor Greg Nickels.
This is the second of two tunnels under Beacon Hill. The first was completed last May. Sound Transit says the 16-mile line should open next year.
