Mister Beasley, I recently heard an estimate of over 400 leaks. These flaws are largely due to building on unstable soil with a very high salt content. Not very surprising when construction is on and around salt marshes. I understand the only method for curing and setting the poured concrete is by pre-freezing the soil supporting the forms? It begs the question: did the project engineers bother to research the mess into which they were entering? It may be called an "enginerring marvel" by some, however "political boondoggle" is the phrase that comes to my mind. Oh well, there should be plenty of employment in Boston into infinity. Should anyone be curious as to why the U.S. Interstate sytem across the country is in tatters; just look to "The Big Dig." Regards
