Tunneling crews continue to make progress on both tunnels between the Roosevelt Station site and the U District Station site. Tunnel boring machine #1 is just south of NE 50th Street and TBM #2 is north of NE Ravenna Boulevard. TBM #1 is expected to arrive at the U District Station site by the end of October and TBM #2 by the end of the year.

Crews continue to pour the concrete base and install drainage in the future northbound tunnel between Roosevelt Station and the Maple Leaf portal.
