Boring at Seattle’s $2 billion tunnel project has been delayed again until next week.

Officials with contractor Seattle Tunnel Partners said Friday that the boring machine is going through more tests before it can be restarted. They say some of the early material that the machine was tunneling through apparently had a chance to solidify while the machine had been shut down.

Gov. Jay Inslee announced Tuesday that the longshoremen had agreed to allow work to proceed as officials worked toward a larger resolution on that dispute.
