The Big Rip

What a total fiasco this entire project has been. Astronomically over budget, plagued with every problem imaginable and now it doesn't work.

BOSTON — The independent engineering specialist who led an investigation into
leaks at the $14.6 billion Big Dig project says he can no longer vouch for the
safety of its tunnels.
I am now unable to express an opinion as to the safety of the I-93 portion of
the Central Artery," Jack K. Lemley wrote in the March 9 letter to the
Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, a copy of which was obtained by The Boston
Globe.
As with so many things associated with Massachusetts recently, ridiculously overpriced, poorly planned, and completely inadequate.
