MassDOT's New Gates in Ted Williams Tunnel Ease Gridlock, but Commuters Still Face Challenges

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has installed new gates in the Ted Williams Tunnel to alleviate gridlock and improve traffic flow. The flashing red gates with arrows will occasionally block one lane of traffic to create space for emergency situations and ease congestion for airport travelers. The ongoing closure of the Sumner Tunnel has caused frustration among drivers, particularly in East Boston. MassDOT has offered alternative travel options such as free T and ferry rides, but for those who must drive, they are advised to allow extra time. The Sumner Tunnel project is expected to be completed by the end of August.
