Boston Commuter Tunnel Partially Collapses, Killing Woman


By VOA News
11 July 2006

A three-ton concrete panel fell from the ceiling of a cross-city traffic tunnel in Boston, Massachusetts, late Monday, killing a woman in a car.

Transportation officials in the northeastern state expressed regret over the death and say inspectors are working to make sure that 100 similar ceiling panels pose no danger.

The so-called "Big Dig" highway project, which moved major transit routes underneath Boston, is closed until inspectors verify that the tunnel is safe.

The 15-year-long, $14 billion project is the biggest public works project in U.S. history.

It has been plagued by cost overruns and water leaks.

Some information for this report was provided by AP and Reuters.
