Now for the tunnel...
OK, now the eastbound side of the Ted Williams Tunnel is now shut down. This was due to bolts that were pulled out of the ceiling, one of the pulled 1" and another pulled 0.5" out in the Ted Williams Tunnel eastbound. This is detouring the Silver Line bus route that goes to the airport via the Ted Williams Tunnel.
The shutdown should only be for "hours, not days." The Mass Pike Authority had previously cleared the tunnel as safe. Romney said that the action may be a bit of an overreaction but public safety does come first. From the question and answer session, it seemed that they immediately closed the tunnel once it was discovered and not all the politicians were notified (although the T was notified since they run the Silver Line through there).
I agree with the shutdown, even if it is a bit of an overreaction. I think the public is willing to tolerate shutdowns if it means we won't have another disaster. While it looks bad, what looks worse is another disaster in an area that was cleared by the Mass Pike Authority (which wouldn't be surprising for most of us).
