New Austrian Tunnelling method

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

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

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]

Date check, new reference needed for tunnel opening

I believe from personal notes that the correct date is actually about one week earlier, March 17, 2013. While the SFGate reference does say the tunnels were going to open on March 26, 2013, the article was dated March 14, 2013, before the fact. An ideal reference would be dated after the tunnel opened. I have not been able to find such a reference, and obviously my notes would not be considered a reliable source. Thisisnotatest (talk) 06:18, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
