DITCH THE DRIVE: Travelers and locals are being urged to use other transportation options instead of driving to cut back on the congestion likely to be caused by the Sumner Tunnel closure this summer.
transportation officials and local leaders held a news conference on Wednesday morning, urging people to"ditch the drive" and utilize public transportation during the two-month shutdown.
"We all recognize the work is critical to the longevity of the tunnel and safety of the infrastructure," MBTA General manager Phillip Eng said."The T is ready to step up and move the public, essential workers, travelers and transit dependent riders during the Sumner Tunnel shutdown." "This is by far the most impactful project we have undertaken in some time," Gulliver said."The impacts will be evident and immediate around the project area. Starting next Wednesday, drivers coming to the region should expect severe congestion especially around the connecting roadways to the Sumner tunnel and in particular the detour routes that are over the Tobin and through the Ted Williams.
MassDOT announced Friday alternative travel options during that closure, which is set to include free Blue Line rides heading both directions across the entire lines. Gates will be open at all Blue Line stations, from Bowdoin to Wonderland. "The closure of the Sumner Tunnel will be a significant disruption for our residents in East Boston and North Shore," Mayor Wu said.":At the city we are working in close collaboration with our partners at the state level to mitigate impacts and ensure residents can get where they need to go as efficiently and reliably as possible."
