Yup. As a Seattle area resident it's been frustrating watching this clusterfuck play out in slow motion to the tune of billions in costs. The deep bore tunnel was the most expensive and riskiest of all the options to replace the viaduct. For a while there was hope, but it turned out to be just as much of a shitshow as most detractors imagined. The tunnel was supposed to have been open to traffic sometime in 2015. Now 2015 is when they will finally be able to dig down to the TBM so they can extract the cutting head in order to repair it, and then maybe sometime after that they can return to digging.
