I searched for a New Haven thread as I thought there was one...but guess not.
Anyway, this is sad. NH was planning to tear down its downtown highway (not sure why a city of its size ever thought it needed this) in a sort of Little Dig scheme, sensibly sans tunnel. Unfortunately, the idea got kind of half-baked, and now the city will wind up rebuilding essentially the same highway in the space where the old one was - albeit trenched, and lined with fewer parking lots.
