Across the Internet, engineers are discussing the situation with Boston's Big Dig/Central Artery Tunnel project and the materials failure which led to the death of a 39-year-old woman and the closing down of several key connectors, tunnels and roadways throughout the city.
Ongoing investigations show failures were known to project coordinators as long as six years ago and everyday more loose bolts and faulty bolt and epoxy assemblies are being discovered.
Structurally speaking, even if these faulty portions of the infrastructure are corrected, what are the chances of this having long-term repercussions?
