2. How close does this site come to providing full PERT/CPM diagrams and Gantt charts
to the public? List reasons you think are likely for the level of detail provided.

• The information defines the project and prepare the work breakdown structure
according the dates.
• Develop the relationship among the activities. Decide which activities must procede
and which must follow others.
• Draw the network connecting all the activities in the information indicate in the site.
• Also indicated assigned time and cost estimates to each activity.

3. Visit the Project Library and review the documents concerning Costs and Funding. How
do current cost estimates compare with initial cost estimates?
A planned budget increase.
Does this match the material your authors provide on project crashing?
Yes.

Why or why not?

• First is the South end viaduct replacement, where a side-by-side roadway that will
have wider lanes and meet seismic safety requirements will replace the existing
viaduct section between South Holgate and South King Streets.
• Second is the replacement of the Central Waterfront viaduct section, which runs
between South King Street and the Belltown Battery Tunnel. This section will be
replaced with a bored tunnel underneath downtown Seattle connecting the new SR
99 roadway south of downtown and Aurora Avenue in the north.
• Other related improvements include repairs and enhancements of infrastructure
components along the existing viaduct, specifically strengthening of viaduct
columns in Pioneer Square; relocating of electric lines along the south end;
decommissioning of the Battery Street Tunnel; a new Alaskan Way surface street
along the Central Waterfront; and addition of traffic technology to SR 99.
