[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 896313, member: 12952"] The cost still has not been finalized . Due to cost cutting measures , they did not want to pay for all the underground lands to properly build it . Let me explain; the proper way would be to dig out a tunnel and construct an inner boxed tunnel to hold the roadway. They skipped the outer tunnel. There are on going water leaks, causing large sections of overhead lighting structures to fall on to passing vehicles. The road surface is not flat , but actually rises in spots, which in turn has caused many motorcyclists to become airborne and caused some deaths. Now there are sink holes developing under the roadway. The original cost was to have been much lower before every greedy group demanded their cut. The BPD, the BFD, the State PD, Massport, The city of Boston all we first at the plate with their personal demands. To answer your question the cost is over $14B and still climbing. For a small fraction of that cost an alternative plan { the Boston By-Pass, building new bridges instead of tunnels } would have worked better and been done quicker. [/QUOTE]
