The smooth panels on the sides of the bridge are notably missing, as pointed out by many, but I'm hoping they end up getting installed.

Great photos ^, but the corner glass wrap-around windows bother me (photo by Beeline).

Wow, that is my new favorite building. Everything about it is a masterpiece.

Sounds good, and thanks for the info. Sorry, F-Line, I didn't mean to misquote you.

It might turn into excellent bat habitat if it isn't covered up.

I vaguely recall years ago on here, F-Line or someone saying that BERY originally intended to run a trolley car line in that tunnel you describe that runs above the RL from Washington St to Dewey Square. Of course the SB Central Artery tunnel cuts it off, making use of it for a rapid transit...

It's a "Target" in more ways than one! ^

Yikes! A carpocalypse happening there ^.

Arguably, you could save more trees with a single column elevated rail line than with a cut-and-cover tunnel. A single column elevated rail has a much narrower construction footprint than cut-and-cover. You'd have to trim quite a few limbs, but less removal of entire trees.

I had something like this in mind, and it would be quite a bit cheaper than either a cut-and-cover or deep bore tunnel:

Elevated rail. There, I said it. Running an elevated line up the Minuteman Trail from the end of the RL tunnel north of Alewife all the way to Bedford would preserve the trail beneath, plus provide a double track HR line. Yes, I know, NIMBY heads would explode on a seismic scale at the mere...

I'd like a future where high-speed inter-city rail has reduced the need for inter-city flights, so that the current commercial flight airports would be sufficient without having to add capacity.

Here's what I would have done. Break up New Chardon Street so that it intersects with Congress/Merrimac at right angles instead of the current skewed angle. It would open up some land (shown in yellow) for pocket parks or buildings. To me this layout is more context appropriate for downtown...

Widening the Pike through Boston would not only cost many, many $ billions (and I doubt if it's even physically possible to build it), it would also eliminate the slim pieces of space that would be needed for additional on/off ramps at the Bowker and South Cove, needed to eliminate or reduce...

I'll chant the mantra again: highway lanes are not the answer. Bus, rail transit, commuter rail, and active transportation (bikes, e-bikes and walking) are the answer.

Looks like the layout for a Rte.128 office park.

I found the post by F-Line to Dudley explaining the St. Mary's Street bridge as a temporary bridge.

I remember a few years ago somebody on here saying the St. Mary's Street bridge was temporary, It was needed while the current BU bridge was being built, replacing the old one. At least that's what I recall hearing.

Wow. Where is that?

NIMBYs would stop this in 15 minutes, plus environmental issues and maybe even 4F.
