Despite repeated assurances that it had Big Dig leaks under control, the Turnpike Authority has allowed the number of leaks to explode in the last two years and has been forced to launch a fresh effort to plug hundreds of trouble spots, according to an analysis of Big Dig records…
A massive effort … reduced the number of the most serious leaks near the tunnel roof from more than 800 in March 2005 to just three eight months later … the number of serious leaks going unchecked rose to 237 last month…
The resurgence suggests that water infiltration … is not the temporary glitch originally asserted … The new leaks raise serious questions … about maintenance costs, repair schedules, and premature corrosion of steel reinforcements in the walls….
What? For a mere 15 billion dollars, you wanted it to not leak?
(Also, note that we’re talking about 237 “of the most serious” – lesser category B, C, D, etc. leaks aren’t even counted.)
