It looks like, in several places, that the slurry wall construction didn't dry properly. There are all sorts of accusations going by - from blaming the planners for using an "experimental process" to blaming the contractors for using poor cement, etc. It's really kind of a mess. Some sections of the new tunnels have six inches of water.
