SEATTLE — The Washington State Department of Transportation will receive approximately $77 million due to the late completion of the SR 99 tunnel in Seattle. The Supreme Court of Washington denied a request from contractor Seattle Tunnel Partners to further review a 2019 jury judgment that awarded the state $57.2 million. The state will receive the judgment amount plus 12% interest from the appeal process, bringing the total to around $77 million. The tunnel boring machine known as "Bertha" launched on July 30, 2013.
