Massachusetts has not widened highways inside of 128 for 50 years now. And I am so grateful for that.

- kjkjadksj 2y agoAre you forgetting about the big dig?
- ocschwar 2y agoIt did not widen the highway.
- light_hue_1 2y agoWe're actually going in reverse. In the next 2 years a horrible little spur of elevated highway that cuts through Somerville (McGrath) is getting demolished and replaced with a nice boulevard. That whole area is just blighted at the moment. It's going to become some of the nicest housing with parks and shops.
- ocschwar 2y agoThe statute of limitations on traffic offenses is brief, so I'll fess up that I've biked across the whole length a couple times. Got some Darwin Award honorable mentions doing it.
- light_hue_1 2y agoI cycle in the area but I value my life too much for that! Happy travels.
- micromacrofoot 2y agoBoston has successfully moved one highway underground (the big dig) and shot down an extension of I-95 (there are parks and a train route where it was planned now). The city is much better for it.
