It ain't gonna be just Taxachusetts that's gonna pay for this folks; remember this is part of the Federal Highway system and was a Federally funded project from the git-go.
Whatever the cost, it will be borne by all of us yet again.
What was the cost projection in the '80's? $2 Billion?

This boondoggle may have an interstate designation, but it is really under the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, which mean the MassPike is responsible for repairs, not FHWA. The Massachusetts politicians can lobby Congress for a direct appropriation or earmark (which is how the Big Sieve was funded in the first place).
Nope.
The Feds have already told Massachusetts not one for dime for the thing.
Whatever the cost, it will be borne by all of us yet again.
