SR 99 Bored Tunnel Video - August 2009

In January 2009, Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire, former King County Executive Ron Sims, and Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels announced their recommendation to replace the central waterfront portion of the SR 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct and adjacent seawall. The recommendation includes a bored tunnel beneath downtown, a new waterfront surface street, transit investments, and city street and waterfront improvements.

This drive-through simulation, shows a design concept for the proposed SR 99 bored tunnel, the route it would follow beneath downtown Seattle and the connections that would be provided at the tunnel's north and south portals.

Gov. Gregoire signed legislation in May 2009 that provides funding for the proposed bored tunnel. The program team is working on environmental review plans and other contracting work, so tunnel construction can begin in 2011. More information regarding the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Replacement Program is available at www.alaskanwayviaduct.org.

So we would destroy the last solvency of this State (when we is all dead beat liberal liars suck-you-all-busted-broke) & begin a tunnel to nowhere? Lopping off exists the WORKING WATERFRONT NEED$ EVERYDAY! All because the insane dims ran the piggy bank into= empty! Add on they now want the citizens to be the ones responsible to fund this boondoggle? They could spider web around the viaduct for next to nothing and keep it in place for the next 50 years. But the liberals like PONZISCAM PROJECTS ~
