New Austrian Tunnelling method edit

A news article says this is the first tunnel in the US to use the New Austrian Tunnelling method. Is that correct? Abductive (reasoning) 23:30, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Probably not, unless you count from the date that the Devils' Slide project entered the planning stages decades ago. There are NATM projects in the US dating back to 1991. [1][2] If you're really into tunnel geology and techniques, see [3]. The geology varies so much that five different techniques were used in different sections of the tunnel. --John Nagle (talk) 03:49, 14 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Opening date set edit

The opening date, March 25, 2013, was just announced.[4] --John Nagle (talk) 03:35, 14 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Open for traffic today. Finally! --John Nagle (talk) 05:39, 27 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Bridges don't have pedestrian walkways edit

If anyone has a source specifically about the bridges attached to the tunnels, that would be interesting - unlike all new bridges elsewhere, these don't have pedestrian walkways, built more like freeway overpasses. It's very weird, for the scenic highway. -174.62.68.53 (talk) 08:59, 12 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
