Title: Mass. Route 2 Crosby's Corner project
Post by: Pete from Boston on February 25, 2015, 06:52:01 PM
I pass through this intersection more or less weekly during the winter, and though I've snapped pictures of it from time to time, I never do anything with them.  Here are a few of the heart of the intersection:

For the unaware, this is a spot where Route 2 makes a left turn at a traffic light going west (through traffic going east has a continuous roadway, albeit with a heavy merge involved).  The legendary backups at that light were fodder for a lot of discussion on ne.transportation fifteen years ago, when this project was always either several years away or never going to happen.

It does amaze me a little that it is actually underway.

Anyway, I'm sure I will have more photos as construction progresses.

There's another thread on this I believe...


Good progress though (all things considered)...

Providing a link to that other thread would've been helpful.

So, then go ahead and provide it next time...

I wasn't aware of another thread at the time, and a quick search came up blank.
