Meanwhile 16 MILLION gallons of water leaked into the Tip O’Neil tunnel in the past 6 months alone.
What a BOONDOGGLE.
I wonder what the eventual lifespan for this taxpayer funded, union built disaster will be.
The next 30 billion dollar fiasco project will be a ground level highway above the flooded tunnels in 2030 and a bridge to the airport.
sht never ends....

They did something remarkable with the Big Dig:
They made brand new tunnels that looked and operated like they were 50 years old on the day that they opened.

"Overtightening eyed as cause for flaws in Big Dig tunnel nuts, "

Were any of those workers given torquing instructions in their native language?

Obviously there are some cracked nuts walking around on two legs - wonder what they will do to fix them.

The poor Big Dig will always be with us . . .

At least until the Big Crack leads to the Big Flood resulting in the Big Closure.

Not over tightening. ...Poor engineering specs, quality control and procurement practices seeking lowest costs. Result: cheap fasteners of poor quality and strength.

The Big Dig cost more than the English Channel Tunnel, but there are still traffic jams along its route every rush hour.

The Big Dig was just a scheme to enrich the union thugs and the crony crapitalists.
