Overheight Semi Closes Sumner Tunnel

Too prohibitively expensive. The tunnels were already rehabilitated during the Big Dig project.
There are still issues with leaks due to the salt water and air environment.

In Massachusetts? Don’t bet on it!
The State Police get HIGHLY agitated when they have to shutdown any of the tunnels because a CMV driver doesn’t pay attention to clearance height signs and warnings! Especially around the I-93/I-90 Logan Airport area.
Usually it’s the straight trucks that cause problems and even then those drivers get raked over the coals,because they’re always knocking down overhead signs in the tunnels.
The driver is from Ontario,Canada so maybe he forgot to convert meters into feet.

 

I know it all too well myself-I used to work at Logan Airport(had a life before I became a truck driver). Always took that tunnel to my former exhalted place of work (unless the tunnel was closed,then you had to take the Ted Williams unless you got off 93 way before then and cut through Everett,Chelsea or Melrose). Mass RMV has a reciprocity agreement with Ontario so whatever tickets that driver gets Ontario will hear about it!
