I grew up in a suburban neighborhood here in MA that had a major public works project going on beneath our feet in the 80’s.
A huge tunnel was being bored under many towns to update our antiquated sewer sewage system.
Right underneath my next-door neighbors yard the boring machine got stuck.
It stayed stuck for a good time. They couldn’t figure out how to un-stuck it.
They finally blocked the road for a few months and dug a HUGE hole to get it out.
It was pretty interesting times in the neighboorhood.
I came across the entrance to this tunnel unexpectedly as a teen drinking and hiking at night throuth some woods i hadn’t been to in a while.
We came across flood lights, a HUGE hole in the ground and a well lit, perfectly bored tunnel about 20 feet high going staight as far as my eyes could see.
We got chased out be a guard but it was pretty creepy.
Now that tunnel pushes millions of gallons of waste a day to Deer Island treatment plant in Boston Harbor.
To clarify the secong HUGE hole was a hell of a lot bigger than the first HUGE hole.
