In this Nov. 21, 2013, photo provided by the Washington State Dept. of Transportation, daylight from the launch pit shines down the Highway 99 tunnel project in Seattle. The yellow tube, upper left, provides air ventilation for workers in the drilling machine known as Bertha, while the black belt above carries soil out of the machine and onto barges waiting at Terminal 46. Along the wall are various utilities needed to power and operate Bertha. The next step in the process to resume drilling the highway tunnel under downtown, which stopped Dec. 6 after Bertha ran into a pipe, is to get a better look at what's blocking her path.
