Order an ImageThe Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel (Metro Bus Tunnel) is a 1.3-mile-long public transit tunnel that runs underneath downtown Seattle. Constructed between 1987-1990, the $455 million tunnel originally built for buses was updated in 2009 to include light rail access.
In this image International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) organizer Jim Lukehart (center) stands with a worker in the Metro tunnel. The men are checking the electrical connection which had electrocuted a fellow tunnel worker the previous week.
