Comments

  • This tunnel was poorly constructed due to design & construction firms taking kickbacks throughout its design and building phases. The result was a woman being crushed by a ceiling panel that was not properly held up due to faulty bolts and the tunnel having to be retrofitted with new bolts and dozens of pumps to keep it from flooding due to numerous leaks.
  • I think the person who made the above comment is referring to the I-93 tunnel, not this one.
  • Neither to the above posts. The faulty bolts were in the I-90 "Fort Point Channel Tunnel" which is the tunnel between the Ted Williams Tunnel and I-93.
