95 does a pretty solid job of carrying water.

Given what a mess the Big Dig was at the time, I can’t really fault lawmakers for not wanting to put their names on it - but imagine if instead of rebuilding, they buried the highway. The Kennedy Greenway is so nice compared to this.

It wouldn’t make sense from an engineering standpoint to try to move the viaduct underground, but we can still easily cap the trenches between Orms and Smith, and between Atwells and Point. It could be done by selling air rights for some parts (similar to what Boston did over the Pike in Back Bay) and using the proceeds to build parks over the rest.

It's always fun to think about the amount of outside the box ambituous public works projects are basically impossible until, at the very least, everyone who remembers the big dig is dead.
