Column: Twin underwater tunnels for light rail make sense (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) - The twin tunnels aren't $400 million tunnels. The entire project is $363 million. Boring the twin tunnels is estimated to cost from $55 million to $60 million, not including the tracks, power, signals and lights. The rest of the money will be used for those things and four stations, elevating the line across the North Shore and buying eight new light-rail vehicles.
