Bertha

@BerthaDigsSR99

I’m Bertha, the world’s largest-diameter tunneling machine. In summer 2013, I’ll start digging the SR 99 tunnel to replace Seattle’s Alaskan Way Viaduct.

  1. @Mariners Extra large! I’d like to attend the home opener on 4/8, but I’ll still be in many pieces. Plus I’d take up too many seats.

  2. Two of my five largest pieces have boarded the ship that will take me to Seattle. The rest of me is waiting in line. pic.twitter.com/pSNSDcrPFW

  3. Anyone know how to knit? Could use an extra large #Sounders scarf for my cruise to Seattle.

  8. The Nisqually earthquake struck Seattle on this day in 2001. Did you know tunnels do really well in earthquakes? http://1.usa.gov/ZEaHqC
