Boston's Sumner Tunnel Closed for Repairs

The Sumner Tunnel in Boston is closed for repairs, causing significant traffic disruptions for commuters heading to Logan Airport and the city. The closure, part of a $160 million renovation project, aims to extend the tunnel's lifespan by at least 50 years. Alternate transportation options, including free Blue Line service and discounted Commuter Rail tickets, are available to alleviate congestion during the month-long shutdown. Businesses and residents express concerns over delays and inventory challenges due to the increased traffic and closure. MassDOT emphasizes the necessity of the repairs and the long-term benefits they will bring to the tunnel's infrastructure.
