Alaskan Way Viaduct - South End Demolition - Munchers 2

[krisj5886]

SO glad to see munchers doing this slowly versus an earthquake bringing it down on top of our neighbors. FINALLY... the beginning of the end of a dangerous era!!

This is COOL! Makes me think of 2 things:

(1) the people who designed these machines had obviously seen all the Godzilla movies;

(2) Beavis & Butthead: "This viaduct sucks! Heh-heh-heh-heh"

@raganti1 - we sure do, search for SR 99 Bored Tunnel Video in YouTube search and you will see several showing the location of the tunnel.

Viaduct eaters!

Thank you for this! I'm very excited to see this go away; yes, I know it was an icon of Seattle but I'm optimistic we will replace the viaduct with something better.

Question though (not sure if wsdot reads youtube comments) but will the simulation showing the step by step process of replacing the south end of the viaduct be updated to show where the tunnel and eventual SR99 alignment will be? Much like the new Mercer street simulation does.

@Raganti1 Try tweeting wsdot ;)

@NayTosh I don't have twitter, but I found out that wsdot has a facebook page so I think I'll copy my question there.

Thanks for the video - but use a tripod! :-)
