Giant pothole in Pru tunnel

State Police report crews closed off a lane on the Pru exit ramp off the turnpike after this sinkhole erupted but not before, WBZ reports, it chewed its way through the tires of several cars.

There's A Black Hole in the Shadow of the Pru

Don't worry. Baker will spend magical non-existent dollars on the ramp to coverup the massive RMV and MASSDOT disasters under his watch

I hope that's an American Nightmare song you are referencing in that subject line <3

This pushes the new Orange Line cars back to the fall of 2026

...lobbying, golfing, smiling for 'Board of Directors' photos.

Stop trying to shame this guy, he literally doesn't care.

Besides, that strategy seems to be working for them on a national level, so really Baker's just towing the party line.

Unpossible! We had a cost more than the Iraq War stimulus plan that funded road repair and other shovel ready union jobs for 8 years under the esteemed leadership of Deval Patrick. There's no way our infrastructure could fall apart that quickly given the expenditure and high quality of labor and materials we've come to expect in the Commonwealth. It's not like the state has ever had problems with the engineering and construct of its tunnels before. We have the smartest and best people designing, building, supervising, and maintaining these things as a model for the rest of the nation.

Failing infrastructure falling fast. Fix it. Don't wait for campaigning/election time.

It would be newsworthy if there were NO Massholes in the Pru Tunnel...

"first actual case of mass hole being found."

(Techie joke. Don't worry if you don't get it.)
