Take a look at the sad state of affairs in Massachusetts, where the Big Dig's billions in cost overruns continues to reverberate to this day. The MBTA and the state's highways are literally falling apart but the state has no money to even begin to address the maintenance backlog.I don't think it's fair to blame the Big Dig for the MBTA's funding woes anymore. The state's highways are not falling apart; there's widening and reconstruction work going on all over the state, and 174 bridges will have been reconstructed by the end of the year under the four year old, $3 billion Accelerated Bridge Program. There's obviously a funding imbalance between the Highway Division and MBTA. |
